Applicants are requested, before initiating a request, to consult the Terms and Conditions of Use of the portal - Single Electronic Contact Point, which can be found at the bottom of the page or at the following link: https://edirect.e-guvernare.ro/SitePages/termenisiconditii.aspx, as well as the section regarding the Protection of Personal Data, which can be found at the bottom of the page or at the following link: https://edirect.e-guvernare.ro/SitePages/DetaliiCookies.aspx


This procedure is addressed to the members of the College of Physiotherapists of Romania (CFZRO). The European Professional Card is an electronic certificate that attests either to the fact that the professional has met all the necessary conditions to provide temporary and occasional services in a host member state, or the recognition of professional qualifications for establishment in a host member state.
To facilitate the free movement of physiotherapists throughout the EU, the European Commission, based on Regulation 983/2015 regarding the procedure for issuing the European Professional Card and the application of the alert mechanism under Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, has provided for the introduction of the European Professional Card (EPC) for physiotherapists.
The purpose of the EPC is to simplify the recognition process and to generate cost reductions and operational efficiency to benefit professionals and competent authorities.

For obtaining the EPC, interested persons can access the Your Europe portal ("Europa Ta" – http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/professional-qualifications/european-professional-card/index_ro.htm) where all necessary documents notified by competent authorities in each Member State will be published (http://cnred.edu.ro/imipqnet/doku.php?id=fizioterapeuti).

Before submitting your application, check that you have complied with the requirements published in the Simulator on the EPC page, on the Your Europe site - https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/professional-qualifications/european-professional-card/index_ro.htm

Each requested document (copies of the originals, copies of notarized translations) must be uploaded as a single PDF file containing all pages of the document. In addition, for each uploaded document, the applicant must complete all identification details and address for each issuing authority.

All submitted documents must be validated as authentic and valid through the IMI System by the authority in the Member State of origin (according to EPC Regulation 2015/983).

To verify the authenticity of certain documents outside the IMI System, you have the possibility to opt for one of the following options:

– Certification “Conform to the Original” of the copies of the original documents presented at our headquarters at Str. Dr. Ernest Juvara no. 18, 3rd floor, Sector 6, Bucharest;

– Sending by Post or Courier the notarized copies in Romania of the original documents, to the College of Physiotherapists of Romania at Str. Dr. Ernest Juvara no. 18, 3rd floor, Sector 6, Bucharest;

– Sending the e-mail address of the issuers of documents that cannot be verified in the IMI system (respectively certificates of experience/seniority/employee, diplomas of attendance at courses/seminars etc.), and if the issuers do not respond in a reasonable time from the transmission of the authenticity confirmation request, choose one of the two options mentioned above

In case it is impossible to validate certain documents as valid and authentic through the IMI system, you must choose one of the above options, otherwise the documents you submitted cannot be validated as authentic and valid.

The fee for preparation and issuance of the EPC by CFZRO is 200 RON. It will be paid into the CFZRO account: RO58BRDE410SV97037454100, opened at BRD Groupe Societe Generale – Carrefour Orhideea Bucharest Branch, by bank transfer or payment order.
