Short answers
Frequently asked questions
More questions? We can discuss your situation.
How long do I have to challenge a penalty report?
The complaint must be filed within 15 days of delivery or communication of the report (Article 31 of OG 2/2001). Late filing may lead to dismissal. Exceptionally, Article 186 allows reinstatement upon proof of a duly justified impediment; both the complaint and reinstatement request must be filed within 15 days after it ends. The court assesses reasons and evidence; do not rely on this exception to postpone filing.
Do I have to pay the fine if I file a complaint?
Not while the case is pending: the complaint suspends enforcement of the fine until a final decision is given (Article 32 of Ordinance No. 2/2001). For traffic fines, it also suspends complementary penalties such as licence suspension (Article 118 of Government Emergency Ordinance No. 195/2002).
How much does a complaint cost?
The fee is RON 20 for the complaint and RON 20 for the appeal (Article 19 of OUG 80/2013). Initially missing proof does not mean immediate cancellation: if the fee is unpaid or insufficient, the court requests payment and proof within the set deadline, no more than 10 days after receipt of its communication (Article 33(2)). Non-compliance after the applicable procedure and consideration of any lawful fee relief may lead to cancellation.
Which errors can invalidate a penalty report?
Missing mandatory details make the report null and void: the officer's full name and position, your identification details, the offence, the date it was committed or the officer's signature (Article 17 of Ordinance No. 2/2001). Other irregularities can lead to annulment if you show that they caused you harm.
Can I pay only half of the fine?
The general rule allows payment of half the statutory minimum fine within 15 days of delivery or service of the official report (Article 28 of Romanian Government Ordinance 2/2001). The officer must mention this option, but the entitlement comes from the law, not from the actual inclusion of that statement or express permission in each sanctioning statute. Special derogations must be checked: they may alter the amount payable or exclude the reduction. Do not assume that half of any fine imposed is sufficient.
Do I have to attend court?
Not necessarily. I can represent you at every hearing and keep you informed of how the case is progressing.
