The procedure for the recognition of the training and
professional experience gained in Romania in other EU countries is regulated by
Order no. 134/2016 of the Ministry of Labor, Family, Social Protection and
Elderly People.
This Order regulates the approval of the procedure of
attestation of the training and work experience for the recognition of professional

postal and telecommunication solutions.
This being said, this Order is aimed at individuals who wish

The recognition of professional experience under these

same activities or occupations such as that for which he was qualified in
Romania and to exercise the same conditions as the nationals of the EU, EEA or the
Swiss Confederation where the applicant wishes to practice.

◦ affidavit made before a notary public.
These documents can be submitted personally, by mail with
return receipt, as well as by email, but in the latter case the applicant must
submit the original of the affidavit by mail.
Moreover, for the recognition of professional experience
required in order to practice these activities in another country, the
applicant will have to prove a relevant work experience for a minimum period of
time, regulated in the above-mentioned Order.
According to art. 8 paragraph. (1) of the attestation

◦ any other document issued by the employer, stating the
work done by the applicant and seniority in the occupation for which he

law;

Trade Register Office;
