Romania Embassy Attestation Fees 2026: Apostille for IGI Work Permits and Students
Romania Embassy Attestation is what Indians search after an offer from Bucharest or Cluj, but Romania actually wants an Indian apostille.
Straight answer: Romania acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 7 June 2000 and has applied it since 16 March 2001. Indian papers are verified in India and then receive the MEA apostille. The Romanian Embassy adds no stamp; a traducător autorizat later translates the papers into Romanian.
Last updated: October 2026. Romania's accession (7 June 2000) and entry into force (16 March 2001) were re-checked on the HCCH Apostille status table this month.
What does Romania Embassy Attestation involve in 2026?
Romania Embassy Attestation means Indian verification plus one MEA apostille, which IGI, universities and town halls accept without embassy legalisation.
| Point | Position for Romania |
|---|---|
| Hague Apostille status | Accession 7 June 2000; in force 16 March 2001 (HCCH) |
| Degrees and school records | Notary → State HRD verification → MEA apostille |
| Personal records | Notary → Home Department or SDM → MEA apostille |
| Police clearance (Passport Seva / RPO) | Sent directly to MEA for apostille |
| Company and export papers | Chamber of Commerce → MEA apostille |
| Translation | Romanian, by a traducător autorizat |
Apostille vs embassy attestation for Romania: only the apostille counts. Unlike Kuwait or Qatar, which add an embassy stamp and fee after MEA, Romania treats the MEA apostille as complete proof.
Why do Indians need Romania Embassy Attestation for work and family?
Romania Embassy Attestation is mostly requested by Indian construction, HoReCa and delivery workers, their families, and medical students.
Romanian work visa: the IGI work permit
A Romanian employer first obtains a work permit (aviz de muncă) from the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI). The IGI file normally holds an Indian criminal record certificate (the PCC, proving a clean record), a medical certificate, and a degree, trade certificate or experience letters proving qualification. The worker then applies for a long-stay employment visa and later a residence permit.
Dependent visa: family reunification in Romania
Once an Indian worker holds a Romanian residence permit, the spouse and minor children can seek family reunification through IGI: an apostilled marriage certificate proves the marriage, and an apostilled birth certificate naming both parents proves each child's link.
MBBS and other students
Public medical universities in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași and Timișoara teach medicine in English to many Indian students. Admission files usually contain apostilled 10th and 12th certificates and mark sheets plus an apostilled birth certificate.
Couples marrying at a civil status office (starea civilă) and firms registering an SRL at the Trade Register (ONRC) also need apostilled papers.
How does degree certificate attestation for Romania work?
Degree certificate attestation for Romania follows three Indian stages: notary, State HRD verification in the university's state, and the MEA apostille.
- Notary on the copyA notary public signs the photocopy that the state office keeps.
- State HRD checkThe education department confirms the degree, consulting the university where needed.
- MEA apostilleThe ministry fixes a numbered apostille with a QR code to the original.
- Romanian versionAn authorised translator in Romania translates certificate and apostille.
Diplomas, transcripts, ITI and 10th or 12th records follow the same path. Recognition of foreign degrees in Romania is handled by CNRED, the national recognition centre.
Which personal documents need a Romania apostille?
Personal documents for Romania are notarised, verified by the Home Department or an SDM, and apostilled by MEA; a Passport Seva or RPO police clearance skips the state step.

What should I send, and which errors slow a Romania file?
Send originals, a passport copy and your checklist; avoid:
- Spelling differences: IGI compares every name with the passport, so fix mismatches with a name affidavit before the apostille.
- Laminated certificates: MEA will not apostille them; order a fresh copy.
