Romanian Translation Services

Most of our certified work is Romanian to English translation of birth, marriage and divorce certificates, diplomas and driving licences, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy accepted by USCIS, UK Home Office processes, universities, and the DVLA for licence exchange. Every certified translation is reviewed by a second linguist before delivery, with standard civil documents ready starting from 24 hours.

Get a Certified Translation

A large share of our Romanian birth certificate translation work is citizenship-by-descent applications, people with a Romanian or Moldovan parent or grandparent applying to regain or claim Romanian citizenship, which carries EU status. The National Authority for Citizenship's own application process generally requires civil status records, apostilled or legalized, together with a Romanian legalized translation, which means the sworn, notary-certified process above, not a standard certified translation. We translate the archival originals into English for your own records and research, and separately prepare the sworn Romanian translation that the citizenship file itself requires.

Translate Your Romanian Documents

Our Romanian interpreters work on-site and remotely for conferences, depositions, medical appointments and business negotiations, staffed separately from our document translation team, plus over-the-phone interpretation (OPI) for businesses and individuals who need it on short notice. See our interpreting services for the full scope.

Ask About Romanian Interpreting

• Do I need a certified or a sworn Romanian translation? If the document is going to USCIS, a UK authority, or a university, a certified translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy is normally enough. If it's going to a Romanian court, notary, land registry or government office, including a citizenship application, it needs to be a sworn translation from a traducător autorizat, notary-certified. We confirm which one your situation needs before quoting.
• What is a traducător autorizat? A translator authorized by Romania's Ministry of Justice, listed on its official register, the only route to a translation with legal validity inside Romania. The translator's signature is then certified by a notary public or, for documents from abroad, a Romanian consulate. More on the distinction between sworn and certified translation here.
• Can you translate a Romanian birth certificate for a citizenship-by-descent application? Yes. We translate the original for your own records and research, and separately prepare the sworn, notary-certified translation the citizenship file itself requires, since the two don't require the same standard.
• Is your certified Romanian translation accepted by USCIS and the UK Home Office? Yes, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on every delivery.
• Do you provide Romanian interpreting as well as document translation? Yes, on-site, remote and over-the-phone, staffed separately from our document translation team.
• How much does Romanian translation cost? Romanian translation starts from $25 per page, with the exact price depending on document type, certification level and turnaround, confirmed in your quote before you commit.
• How long does a certified Romanian translation take? Standard civil documents are ready starting from 24 hours, sworn translations bound for Romania depend on the receiving office's format requirements, which we confirm with your quote.
