Any Romanian citizen is obliged by law to transcribe their civil status documents obtained abroad. Foreign civil status means for example birth certificates of Romanian citizens born abroad, marriage certificates of Romanian citizens married abroad, death certificates of Romanian citizens who died abroad. The Romanian citizen must apply on their own name or through an authorized person according to a power of attorney. A Romanian naturalization and immigration lawyer can help you to complete all these procedures in the shortest possible time, according to Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm.
You must know that, in case of not transcribing the document, the civil status document is not otherwise recognized in Romania. For instance, for an international couple, the Romanian citizen spouse is considered unmarried in Romania. So, the result of the transcription of civil status document is that it will be recognized in Romania.
What documents are required?
– the original foreign civil status certificate, its photocopy, and Legal Translation. The document must bear Apostille / Legalization unless otherwise exempted,
– proof of Romanian citizenship of the titular. This can be a Romanian Identity Card, a Romanian Passport, a Certificate of obtaining Romanian citizenship,
– photocopies of the other civil status certificates in the person’s life (birth, marriage, death, as appropriate),
– identity document of the applicant. This can be a foreign Passport as well,
– declaration of the applicant that there is no other transcription of the same act in Romania,
– any documents proving changes of name, if the name on the certificate to be transcribed is different than that in the titular’s passport. If issued abroad, these documents must bear the Apostille / Legalization unless otherwise exempted,
– declaration from both Romanian citizen spouses, or only from the Romanian citizen spouse, regarding the family name (surname) born after marriage, if this does not appear from the certificate itself,
– any documents proving changes of name, if the name on the certificate to be transcribed is different than that in the titular’s passport. If issued abroad, these documents must bear the Apostille / Legalization unless otherwise exempted,
– declaration from the parent requesting translation of childs birth certificate (if requested by a parent) regarding the domicile of the child, if the parents have different domiciles.
Transcription can be done either within a Romania diplomatic mission that has competence in the region in which the civil status document was issued or at the town hall of the last Romanian domicile of the Romanian citizen, according to Romanian naturalization and immigration specialized lawyers from Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm.
By hiring a naturalization and immigration lawyer, the chances of getting these documents transcribed as quickly as possible are higher. At the same time, by hiring a specialist, you make sure that there is no syncope in this approach, advice lawyers from Pavel, Margarit and Associates Romanian Law Firm.
