Legalisation and apostilation
Days
Supralegalization and apostille are two procedures established under the Hague Convention, October 5, 1961. The Apostille is the authentication of a clerk’s signature on an original Romanian document by the Prefect’s Office. Supralegalization is the authentication of notary’s signature on a translation/ a certified copy or the authentication of a judicial instrument by County Court. These services are primarily needed by persons who wish to file documents for residence or citizenship abroad, who wish to travel abroad or who want their studies to be acknowledged abroad.
