Registered Office in Romania for Foreign SRLs

Every company in Romania must have a registered office — sediu social — at a Romanian address. It’s not optional and it’s not a formality: the address goes in the Trade Register (ONRC) record, on your incorporation documents, and it’s where official correspondence is legally served. Here’s what foreign founders setting up an SRL need to know.

Why the registered office matters

The registered office is your company’s official legal address in Romania. It’s the address ONRC publishes, the address the tax authority (ANAF) uses, and the place where tax notices, audit letters and other official correspondence are sent. If post goes unread there, you can miss deadlines and penalties — so the address has to be real, contactable and under your control.

Your options for an address

You generally have three ways to provide a sediu social:

• Own or rented property — you can use a Romanian property you own, or rent space, provided the owner gives written consent for the address to be used as a registered office.
• A registered-office / virtual-office provider — a company that supplies a compliant address (and usually mail handling) specifically for company registration. This is the standard route for non-residents who have no property in Romania.
• A lawyer’s or professional’s address — some Romanian lawyers can host your registered office at their office for a defined period.

The document you’ll need

Whatever route you choose, ONRC wants proof of the right to use the address. In practice this means either a property/lease document plus the owner’s written agreement to host the registered office, or a hosting contract from your registered-office provider. Foreign founders almost always go with a provider in year one, because it removes the need to find Romanian property or a willing landlord before the company even exists.

Can several companies share one address?

Yes — in many cases multiple companies can be registered at the same address (this is exactly how registered-office providers operate). There are limits and extra conditions in some situations, so the provider or your lawyer should confirm what applies to your specific building and setup.

Note: these rules reflect 2026 practice and ONRC/ANAF requirements change periodically. Always confirm the current registration and registered-office rules before you file.

How we handle it

Our non-resident package at €990 includes the registered office for the first year, so you don’t have to source a Romanian address yourself to get started. After the first year you can renew the office, switch to a provider of your choice, or move to your own premises if you’ve taken space in Romania. For the full breakdown of what’s included, see our pricing page, and if you’re setting up from abroad you can read how remote formation works end to end.
