The procedure applies to midwives whose training, or, as the case may be, professional experience acquired in another EU Member State, in a state belonging to the EEA or in the Swiss Confederation, meets the recognition criteria for automatic qualification provided for in Directive no. 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications. The automatic recognition of the midwife qualification aims to facilitate their access to the profession and, accordingly, to facilitate the exercise of the right of establishment in Romania for the professionals concerned.

This procedure does not apply to midwifery qualifications obtained in a state other than those mentioned (third country) nor to midwives established in any other EU Member State for the purpose of providing temporary or occasional healthcare services specific to the profession in Romania.

The automatic recognition of midwifery qualifications is carried out by the Order of Nurses, Midwives and Medical Assistants of Romania (OAMGMAMR) designated by law as the competent authority for this profession.

Procedure description:

Within 30 days from the date of registration, OAMGMAMR notifies the applicant, confirming receipt of the file and, as the case may be, requesting completion with the missing documents. Within 3 months from the notification, the applicant is required to complete the file with all the requested documents. If the applicant does not comply with the deadline for completion, upon its expiration, OAMGMAMR classifies the file and informs the applicant in writing in this regard.

Within 90 days from the date of submission of the complete file by the applicant, the documents submitted are analyzed by the OAMGMAMR Committee for the recognition of qualifications of general nurses, midwives, and nurses obtained in another EU Member State, a state belonging to the EEA or in the Swiss Confederation, and, based on its thoroughly justified proposal, the President of OAMGMAMR issues the decision for automatic recognition of the midwife qualification.

The decision is communicated to the applicant and to the OAMGMAMR branch of their domicile, for the purpose of obtaining the membership certificate and authorization in the profession. The holder whose midwife qualification has been recognized may register as a member of OAMGMAMR only after proving that they possess the Romanian language skills necessary to carry out professional activities.

After obtaining OAMGMAMR membership, the holder practices as a midwife with the rights and obligations provided by law for Romanian citizen midwives.
