Additional information here: https://cnred.edu.ro/ro/lista-statelor-pentru-care-se-solicit%C4%83-apostilarea-sau-supralegalizarea.
Translation of official documents issued abroad
Official documents issued abroad are submitted as photocopies and will be accompanied by a translation, without the need for legalization of the latter.
If, according to the requirements below, legalization of the translation is also required, the translation is carried out by the authorized interpreter and translator in Romania, whose signature is legalized by the public notary or the diplomatic mission or consular office of Romania abroad. Translations performed by official translators from other EU member states, EEA states, or the Swiss Confederation are also accepted.
If the document issued in an EU member state refers to birth, marriage, domicile, residence, or criminal record, the translation is replaced by the multilingual standard form assistant for translation, issued pursuant to Regulation (EU) no 2016/1191.
