Certified Romanian Document Translation

We translate all types of Romanian documents including certificat de naștere (birth certificate), certificat de căsătorie (marriage certificate), certificat de deces (death certificate), hotărâre de divorț (divorce decree), cazier judiciar (criminal record extract), diplomă de bacalaureat (high school diploma), diplomă de licență (bachelor's degree), foaie matricolă (academic transcript), permis de conducere (driver's license), contract de muncă (employment contract), act notarial (notarial deed), and procură (power of attorney). All translations are certified and accepted by international immigration authorities.

It depends on where you are submitting the documents. For submission to Romanian domestic authorities — courts, prefectures, the Direcția Generală pentru Evidența Persoanelor, or other government agencies — a traducere autorizată produced by a traducător autorizat registered with the Ministerul Justiției under Legea nr. 178/1997 is required. However, for submission to international authorities such as USCIS (United States), UK Home Office, IRCC (Canada), or Australian Department of Home Affairs, DoVisa's certified translations are accepted and a Romanian traducere autorizată is not required. If you need a sworn translation for Romanian authorities, DoVisa can coordinate this through our network of Ministry-authorized translators.

No. DoVisa provides certified translations for international use. Romanian traduceri autorizate (authorized translations) are produced by traducători autorizați registered with the Ministerul Justiției under Legea nr. 178/1997. These sworn translations are required by Romanian domestic authorities including courts, prefectures, and notaries. DoVisa's certified translations serve a different purpose: they are accepted by USCIS, UK Home Office, IRCC, Australian DHA, and other international authorities that do not require Romania's authorized translator system. If you need a traducere autorizată for a Romanian authority, you must use a registered traducător autorizat.

Standard certified translation of Romanian documents is delivered within 4-6 business days. Express processing is available for 2-3 business days, and rush delivery within 24 hours is offered for select single-page document types such as birth and marriage certificates. Turnaround depends on document length, complexity, and language pair. Apostille processing through Romania's competent authorities requires additional time — typically 7-15 business days depending on the issuing authority and document type.

DoVisa offers 100+ language pairs for Romanian documents. The most common pairs include Romanian to English, Romanian to German, Romanian to French, Romanian to Spanish, Romanian to Italian, Romanian to Hungarian, and Romanian to Dutch. We also handle translations from these languages into Romanian. Our network of professional translators covers every major world language, ensuring your Romanian documents can be translated for use in any country.

Yes. USCIS requires certified translations with a translator's certificate of accuracy — DoVisa's certified translations meet this standard for all immigration application types including family-based petitions, adjustment of status, and naturalization. The UK Home Office (UKVI) requires professional translations with the translator's credentials, a signed statement of accuracy, contact details, and date — our translations include all required elements. Neither USCIS nor UKVI requires a Romanian traducere autorizată. Our certified translations are also accepted by Canada IRCC, Australian DHA, and New Zealand Immigration.

Yes. Romania has been a Contracting Party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 7 June 2000. Romania designates three categories of competent authorities: Prefectures (42 offices) for civil status documents such as birth and marriage certificates; Tribunals (42 courts) for court documents and judicial records; and Chambers of Notaries (15 chambers) for notarial acts and notarized translations. Romanian documents bearing an apostille are recognized in all 125+ Convention member states without further legalization. DoVisa coordinates apostille processing through the appropriate Romanian authority.

An apostille is a certificate issued under the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another Convention member country. You need an apostille if the destination country requires document authentication beyond certified translation — for example, many countries require apostilled birth certificates for marriage registration or visa applications. Romania's apostille is a printed sticker with a handwritten signature, official seal, and hologram, issued by the competent authority for the specific document type. DoVisa can arrange apostille processing as an add-on service alongside your translation.

DoVisa's Romanian translation pricing follows a transparent per-page structure with volume discounts that apply automatically for larger projects. Pricing varies based on document length, language pair, and processing speed. Express and rush service options are available for time-sensitive projects. Apostille processing through Romania's competent authorities is quoted separately. Upload your documents on our order page to receive an instant, detailed quote — no hidden fees.

Yes. We regularly translate handwritten Romanian documents including older civil status records issued before 1998, court documents, personal correspondence, and historical records. Handwritten Romanian documents often present additional challenges due to older orthographic conventions and less legible penmanship. Our intake team assesses legibility upon upload and will notify you if any sections require clarification. We recommend providing the highest quality scan possible — at least 300 DPI — to ensure accurate translation of handwritten content.

You will receive your certified translation as a high-resolution PDF delivered via email, suitable for immediate digital submission to immigration authorities and other agencies. The PDF includes the full translation, the translator's certification statement, credentials, signature, and date. A physical hard copy with original wet-ink signature is shipped via tracked international courier. For documents paired with apostille service, the apostilled document is shipped separately once processed by the Romanian competent authority.

The CNP (Cod Numeric Personal) is Romania's 13-digit personal identification number assigned to every Romanian citizen and resident. It appears on virtually all Romanian official documents — birth certificates, identity cards, marriage certificates, and government correspondence. The CNP encodes information including gender, date of birth, county of birth, and a check digit. In certified translations, the CNP is preserved as-is (it is a numerical code, not translated) and identified with an explanatory note as Romania's national identification number. Immigration authorities such as USCIS and the UK Home Office expect to see the CNP reproduced accurately in the translation.

DoVisa coordinates apostille processing as an add-on service. The process depends on your document type: civil status documents (birth, marriage, death certificates) are apostilled by Prefectures; court documents by Tribunals; and notarial acts by Chambers of Notaries. Processing typically takes 7-15 business days depending on the authority and current volume. Documents must be in original or certified copy form. For documents held abroad, Romanian consular missions route apostille requests through the Bucharest Prefecture. Select apostille processing when placing your order, and DoVisa manages the full process from submission through tracked delivery.
