This, together with the inspection report of the vehicle, the clauses, policy’s addendums made in writing by the insured regarding the condition of the vehicle, are an integral part of the policy.

When concluding the insurance policy, the applicant must present the original documents of the vehicle: the registration certificate and the identity card, in case of new vehicles, purchased directly from manufacturers or dealers in Romania, the policy can also be concluded based on the purchase invoice and the provisional traffic permit.
