Romania is a dynamic country in Eastern Europe, known for its rich history, growing economy, and educational opportunities. To use your U.S. documents in Romania, you’ll need an apostille for official recognition. As a Hague Apostille country, Romania accepts apostilled documents without embassy legalization. Whether you are studying, working, relocating, or investing, an apostille ensures your documents are legally valid and recognized by Romanian authorities.

Federal Documents
The apostille process for federal documents is unique and requires submission directly to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. Many applicants mistakenly attempt to process these at the state level, leading to immediate rejection. We specialize in the federal apostille pipeline, handling the rigorous requirements for several federal documents, which include:
Company Documents
International expansion requires your corporate documentation to be legally recognized in every jurisdiction you enter. The apostille process is the critical step that validates your business documents for use abroad. We specialize in the end-to-end apostille workflow, ensuring your corporate paperwork is not just notarized, but properly authenticated at the state level to meet international legal standards, ensuring your business stays operational and compliant from day one.
Personal Documents
Personal Documents
Life events like international relocation, marriage, or citizenship applications often depend on the timely recognition of your personal records. The apostille process is the essential gateway that validates your U.S.-issued personal documents for use abroad.
Birth Certificate
Marriage Certificate
Affidavit
Educational Documents
The apostille process for academic records is a precise, multi-step chain. A diploma or transcript cannot simply be apostilled; it must first be properly certified by the school registrar, notarized, and then processed by the Secretary of State. We manage this entire authentication chain, ensuring your educational documents are verified at every level and meet the specific criteria required for international university admissions or visa applications.
