Hi,

I am planning on moving to Romania somewhere in the near future and have been looking at internet packages as I am a remote worker. I found something from Digi, but when I try to create an account it asks for a CNP.
Is there any way to get utilities such as internet, but  also electricity without a CNP?

The appropriate number will be on your 'green card.'

You will need a CNP to sign up for any services. I had this problem when I first arrived in Romania. I also work online. Fortunately I made friends with my neighbor and they signed a contract for me and we later switched it to my name.
Otherwise, you have to wait for your visa or registration certificate to come through.

Thank you all for the replies. I managed to rent a place where the landlord has the utilities contracts on his name. I am a EU citizen so for the coming 3 months I don't require a CNP, but after that I will apply for one so I can have a tiny bit more freedom in getting things arranged.

@Aviator27 It would be best to take care of the registration certificate as soon as possible. They can be a slow process. First, you would need to register with ANAF. Then, you would have to go to CNAS to get the national health insurance. After that, you need to open a bank account. Opening a bank account can be very difficult. Most employees do not know how to do it without the CNP number, though it is required for the certificate. It took me 2 months of rejection, and finally holding my ground and not leaving the bank until they opened a account for me, all the while getting yelled at. Finally, set the appointment for the registration certificate which will have the CNP on it.
