For foreigners who want to get
married in Romania there is a set of documents that must be prepared in order
to initiate the specific procedures. As expected the file must contain a birth
certificate which is translated in Romanian and legalized by a professional
notary. There should be added a certificate of celibacy which is normally
issued by the authority representing the state of origin of the individual in
question. The document may be provided by an office in the country of origin or
the corresponding embassy in Romania. For persons who have been married before,
there is mandatory to add also an affidavit proving that the other marriage is
no longer valid. Requirements for marriage in Romania also impose the presence
of an authorized interpreter if it is strictly necessary, according to legal
provisions. The country of origin, through the related authorities, must
provide a certificate stating that the individual meets all demands imposed by
his/her national laws regarding all conditions obligatory for getting
married. Both parts must add to the file
a medical certificate, valid for 14 days, proving optimal health conditions. There
is also necessary a specific document called declaration of marriage which is a
standard paper available at the Register Office.
Romanian residence permit
It is highly important to take
into consideration the option to request a Romanian residence permit if deciding
to join your spouse in Romania. Legal provisions are constantly changing so
that is why we emphasize the importance of an expert’s help. Even if all
procedures might seem approachable we insist on the necessity of fully
understanding the extensiveness of the bureaucratic approach. The dossier requested
to obtain the residence permit shall be provided to the Romanian Immigration
Department. Even if the individual already owns a Romanian residence permit,
he/she should send a copy of the marriage certificate to the Romanian
Immigration Department. The older permit can be kept. If the residency right is
very close to the expiration date, a dossier must be submitted to the above
mentioned bureau. Documents to be added to the dossier may vary so it is
important to check the complete required list. It may take up to 90 days until
obtaining the residence permit. There is also a set of evident restraints for
performing a marriage in Romania. Here are included individuals who are already
married; those who are related, individuals not having the minimum age
indicated by Romanian law. There are also some specific situations that might
occur and, in this case, we strongly recommend expert counseling. A lawyer may
provide a clear overview of all requirements for marriage in Romania. A professional attorney can point out some important details which can be ignored
under certain circumstances. There is also an important difference between desiderata
for EU citizens and non-EU citizens. As mentioned above the presence of an
authorized legal expert becomes mandatory and it saves some valuable time.
