Want to know if a car has a valid ITP — yours or one you want to buy? You can check it in seconds, online, by license plate number.
Updated: June 2026
The official source
The official ITP check is done through the RAR (Registrul Auto Român) system, the institution that manages periodic technical inspections nationwide.
How to check your ITP in AutoMeu
- Open the AutoMeu app.
- Enter the car's license plate number.
- See instantly whether the ITP is valid and until what date.
The difference: you no longer have to search manually every time. The car stays saved in your account, and if the ITP is about to expire you get an automatic alert with enough time to schedule your inspection. Plus RCA, Rovinieta and the rest of your car's documents, in the same place.
💡 Useful when buying a used car: always check the vehicle's actual ITP, not just what the seller says — an expired or soon-to-expire ITP is an immediate cost to you.
