Quick checklist before you go to the counter

  • Start with SIUI status check (CNP + ID verification code).
  • If you appear uninsured, choose the right route: D212 (no income) or post-September 1, 2025 rules for former co-insured persons.
  • Prepare identity documents and supporting records before submission.
  • Keep your D212 receipt and CASS payment proof, when applicable.
  • If you travel in EU/EEA/Switzerland/United Kingdom, request EHIC as soon as your insured status is active.

ANAF Single Tax Return (Form 212): filed to establish CASS obligations when you need to obtain/maintain insured status under legal routes.

0 RON (cost covered from FNUASS)

Online verification and application flow

From March 1, 2025, insured-status verification is done in SIUI. Recommended order: SIUI check, status clarification (if uninsured), then EHIC request for temporary travel in EU/EEA/Switzerland/United Kingdom.

Fast online flow

  1. 1Open the CNAS verification page and follow the SIUI link (siui.casan.ro/asigurati).
  2. 2Enter CNP and the ID verification code (CID) to view your current insured status.
  3. 3If result is uninsured, use D212: this is ANAF Single Tax Return (Form 212) used for social contribution setup.
  4. 4Fill D212, submit it to ANAF (SPV / e-guvernare / registry), and pay CASS under the applicable legal basis.
  5. 5After activation, submit EHIC request online via cardeuropean.ro.
  6. 6Track EHIC issuance (max 7 business days) and request PRC/CIP if travel is urgent.

If issues appear

  • Status still uninsured after recent filing: check your receipt and processing timeline, then contact your CAS.
  • Wrong CID for SIUI check: use the code from your valid identity document.
  • If you were co-insured: check CNAS post-September 1, 2025 rules, because no-contribution co-insured status is no longer automatically maintained.
  • Need quick coverage but route is unclear: start from CNAS FAQ, then confirm directly with CAS/ANAF.
  • EHIC may not arrive before departure: request provisional replacement certificate (CIP), issued within 24h in urgent/exceptional cases.

Choose the scenario that matches your case

The check is online and free in SIUI. The result shows whether your insured status is active in the national system.

Required documents

  • CNP.
  • ID verification code (CID) from your identity document.
  • Valid identity document to verify entered data.

Where to go

  • CNAS (access page for verification).
  • SIUI platform for the actual status query.

Check locally with SPCLEP before filing

Exact document lists, office schedule, and pick-up details may vary by locality.

  • Ask your county health insurance house (CAS) whether they require additional documents beyond the legal minimum.
  • Confirm SIUI update timing after submission/payment to avoid unnecessary trips.
  • If you were co-insured, confirm with CAS/ANAF which obligations apply after September 1, 2025 and which D212 channel is accepted.
  • For EHIC, verify delivery address and contact data in the application.
  • If departure is close, request the provisional replacement certificate (PRC/CIP) from CAS.
