Hague Apostille from Romania

How the Hague Apostille from Romania works

The Hague Apostille (Apostilă) is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in Romania, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Prefecture Institutions (for administrative documents), Tribunal (for judicial documents), Chambers of Notaries Public (for notary acts) (Instituțiile Prefectului (pentru documente administrative), Tribunalul (pentru documentele judiciare), Camerele Notarilor Publici (pentru acte notariale)) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Romania — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Romanian or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Romania, the competent authority for issuing apostilles depends on the type of document. Administrative documents, such as civil status certificates or educational diplomas, are typically apostilled by the Prefecture Institutions. Judicial documents, like court decisions, are apostilled by the Tribunal. Notarial acts receive their apostille from the Chambers of Notaries Public. It is crucial to identify the correct authority to avoid delays, and all documents must be original or certified copies before apostille processing for international acceptance.
