Officially known in legal terms as the "certificatul de integritate comportamentală" , this document has become a golden ticket for employment. But a very common myth is floating around: “The CIC is valid for 6 months.”

The CIC is a static snapshot of your record. It states that "as of [Date X], this person has no records of compromising integrity." Your behavior after that date is unknown to the document.

If you have ever applied for a job in Romania’s retail, security, or critical infrastructure sectors, you have definitely encountered the Certificate of Behavioral Integrity (CIC) .
