In short: at a state nursery in Cluj there is no real online enrollment — the file is submitted physically at the nursery. In particular, don’t use edirect.e-guvernare.ro for enrollment: that portal is for administrative/business services, not nurseries and kindergartens. Online, you can only pay the contract and track the results (the list of files by score). Below we clarify what’s online and what isn’t.
What is NOT online
- edirect.e-guvernare.ro is not for nursery/kindergarten enrollment. It’s the Single Electronic Contact Point (PCUe), for administrative and business services (regulated professions, cross-border services, etc.). It has no early-education enrollment form — don’t use it for this.
- There’s no online form to submit the enrollment request for a state nursery in Cluj.
How the file is actually submitted
For the state nursery (the municipal network):
- Download the standard request from creseclujnapoca.ro.
- Assemble the file (an envelope file, labelled with the child’s name).
- Submit it physically, in person (or via notarial proxy), at the nursery chosen as first option, during the calendar window.
For the state kindergarten, the file is submitted in person at the unit, through ISJ Cluj. See our guides to enrolling in a state nursery and step by step, plus the calendar.
What IS online (for the nursery)
The municipal network has two online functions, but neither is “enrollment”:
- Contract payment — on the e-primariaclujnapoca.ro portal (nursery section).
- Tracking the results — a public list of valid files, ordered by score (you view it to check your place, not to submit a request).
Why the confusion arises
There’s a national IT system, SIIIR (the Ministry of Education’s), used in the background by the commission — for example to flag if a request has already been submitted for a child. But SIIIR is not a parent portal, and the methodology optionally allows a “national IT application” — but in Cluj submission remains by file at the unit.
Confirm the channel for the current year. In some years, a unit may accept submitting documents “by electronic means” (email). The official announcement for that year (on creseclujnapoca.ro) is the source that counts — check it first.
