Applicants are kindly requested, before initiating a request, to consult the Terms and Conditions of use of the portal - Single Electronic Contact Point, which can be found at the bottom of the page or at the following link: https://edirect.e-guvernare.ro/SitePages/termenisiconditii.aspx, as well as the section regarding Personal Data Protection, which can be found at the bottom of the page or at the following link: https://edirect.e-guvernare.ro/SitePages/DetaliiCookies.aspx


This procedure is addressed to members of the College of Physiotherapists of Romania (CFZRO). The European Professional Card is an electronic certificate attesting either that the professional has met all the necessary conditions to provide temporary and occasional services in a host Member State, or the recognition of professional qualifications for establishment in a host Member State.
To facilitate the free movement of physiotherapists within the EU, the European Commission, based on Regulation 983/2015 regarding the procedure for issuing the European Professional Card and the application of the alert mechanism under Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and Council, has provided for the introduction of the European Professional Card (EPC) for physiotherapists.
The purpose of the EPC is to simplify the recognition process and generate cost reductions and operational efficiency, for the benefit of professionals and competent authorities.

In order to obtain the EPC, interested persons can access the Your Europe portal (“Europa Ta” – http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/professional-qualifications/european-professional-card/index_ro.htm) where all necessary documents notified by the competent authorities from each Member State will be published (http://cnred.edu.ro/imipqnet/doku.php?id=fizioterapeuti).

Before submitting your application, check that you have met the requirements published in the Simulator from the EPC page, on the Your Europe website - https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/professional-qualifications/european-professional-card/index_ro.htm

Each requested document (copies of originals, copies of legalized translations) must be uploaded as a single PDF file that contains all pages of the document. In addition, for each uploaded document, the applicant must complete all identification data and the address for each issuing authority.

All submitted documents must be validated as authentic and valid through the IMI System by the authority of the Member State of origin (according to EPC Regulation 2015/983).

To verify the authenticity of certain documents outside the IMI System, you have the option to choose one of the following:

- Certification “Conform to the Original” of copies of the original documents presented at our headquarters at Str. Dr. Ernest Juvara no. 18, 3rd floor, Sector 6, Bucharest;

- Sending by Mail or Courier legalized copies in Romania of the original documents to the College of Physiotherapists of Romania at Str. Dr. Ernest Juvara no. 18, 3rd floor, Sector 6, Bucharest;

- Sending the email address of the issuers of documents that cannot be verified in the IMI system (such as certificates of experience/seniority/employment, participation diplomas for courses/seminars, etc.), and if the issuers do not respond in a timely manner to the request for confirmation of authenticity, choosing one of the two aforementioned options

In the event that certain documents cannot be validated as valid and authentic through the IMI system, you must choose one of the above options; otherwise, the documents you submit cannot be validated as authentic and valid.
