OCPI Vâlcea.
What you can do yourself, what we do.

The Vâlcea Office for Cadastre and Land Registration keeps the land registry and receives cadastral documentation. Some things you can do yourself, online. Others need an authorised person and measurements on site. Here is the difference, in short.

05 — Frequently asked questions

In short.

Where can I find the opening hours and address of OCPI Vâlcea?

On the office’s official website: opening hours and contact details. Check them there before you go, because they can change.

Is the land registry extract free?

For your own property, the land registry extract for information is free for the owner (ANCPI Order no. 441/2025), online via eTerra with ROeID authentication or at the counter. For a property that is not yours, the extract is paid for; online you request it at epay.ancpi.ro.

Can I do the cadastral survey myself?

No. Cadastral documentation (first registration, building registration, merging, subdivision, update) is prepared by an ANCPI-authorised person, based on measurements on site. The application is submitted, as applicable, by the owner, by a representative with a power of attorney or by the authorised person.

Is the OCPI fee included in the cadastre price?

No. The cadastral firm’s fee and the OCPI fee are separate. The fee depends on the operation, the taxable value (for buildings), the number of properties and the normal or urgent regime.

What happened to applications made while eTerra was down?

In August 2026, ANCPI restarted the eTerra application in stages. Applications in progress kept their priority, deadlines were extended, and documents submitted at the counter, by post or courier were registered with the date and time of receipt.

Do you work for owners living abroad?

Yes, in many cases. We check the documents on WhatsApp or by email, organise the measurements through a trusted person and prepare the documentation. If representation is needed, we tell you the form of the power of attorney.
