Accepted Answer

For passenger cars you can choose a vignette for 1 day, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days or 12 months. In Pago you choose the period directly in the app, together with the date you want the validity to start. For periods of 30 days or longer you can turn on an email reminder before it expires.

Question 5

Can I pay the rovinieta for someone else's car or for a company?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Pago you enter the details of the vehicle you're buying the vignette for, so you can pay for someone else's car too, not only your own. There is also a legal-entity option: you tick the dedicated box and fill in the company details to buy a vignette on the company.

Question 6

Do I need a Premium subscription to buy the rovinieta in Pago?

Accepted Answer

No. Paying the rovinieta does not require a Premium or Unlimited subscription. You download the Pago app, add the car details and buy the vignette by card, straight from the "Other payments" section.

Question 7

What is the fine for driving without a rovinieta?

Accepted Answer

If you drive on the national roads without a valid rovinieta, the fine for passenger cars is between 500 and 1,000 lei (under Government Ordinance 23/2025). The fine can be paid at half the legal minimum within 15 days of being notified. In Pago you get a reminder before your vignette expires, so you can keep it up to date.

Question 8

How do I pay the rovinieta from abroad?

Accepted Answer

You can buy the Romanian vignette from outside Romania, before you cross the border. In the Pago app (iOS and Android) you add the car details — including the country of registration, so it works for foreign-registered cars — choose the period and pay by card. You receive the proof by email. The official e-rovinieta.ro website also sells the vignette online.

Question 9

Where is the rovinieta bought through Pago valid?

Accepted Answer

On all motorways and national roads in Romania where a vignette is required. After payment is confirmed, the vignette is registered in the CNAIR system and becomes valid immediately.

Question 10

How do I check if I have a valid rovinieta?

Accepted Answer

You can check it for free on the official CNAIR website, by registration number. If you bought it through Pago, you'll also find it any time in your account history, together with the payment proof.

Question 11

Does the rovinieta transfer if I change my registration number?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically. The rovinieta is tied to the registration number. If you change your plates, you need to contact CNAIR to update it. That's why it's important to check the number before you confirm payment in Pago.

Question 12

Is it safe to pay the rovinieta through Pago?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Payments are secured with 3D Secure, in partnership with Banca Transilvania and Visa. Pago is a payments app used by hundreds of thousands of people for bills, RCA, the rovinieta and other payments.
