Frequently Asked Questions:

If you wish to access the BNaR open study spaces, until you obtain the validated card status, we are waiting for you at the Library headquarters where you will be able to present, at the Security Office, the non-validated digital card (from your phone) along with the proof of online payment.

The digital card will be validated by the BNaR team within a maximum of 3 business days. The validation confirmation will be sent to you (to the email address entered in the form when you made the online validation request).

Once you have completed the online pre-registration form, within 5 calendar days you must go to the NLR headquarters to validate your card or send the files requested for validation online.

Once this deadline is exceeded, your data is deleted and you will have to fill out the form again. If you have already made the payment, keep/save the proof of payment.

The access card allows you to benefit from the following facilities:

  • entrance to the National Library of Romania;
  • free internet access;
  • access to the free spaces dedicated to study or reading;
  • access to the reading rooms;
  • borrowing (reading) publications from the Library’s collections in the reading rooms;
  • attending the Library’s public events, within the limits of the available space and seats;
  • visiting exhibitions.

No, this is not necessary. You are already part of the Library’s user database, your data has already been entered. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 in which you will only attach proof of payment through ghișeul.ro and a photo of your ID card or simply go to the Registration Office to renew the card. Pay the amount required for this service and you’re done.
