What you need for legal papers in Romania
Romanian authorities require any foreign document to be legally valid there. Because most offices work in Romanian, they expect you to get an official Romanian translation in Nottingham before using the papers there. For instance, your birth or marriage certificate from the UK must appear in both the original English and a Romanian version. The good news is that a local service like ours can manage the whole thing for you through the mail. There is no need to post your original document anywhere or visit a physical location in Nottingham to make this happen.
If the paper is something vital that would be hard to replace, such as a UK birth certificate, we do not need the original at all. Nottingham Register Office can provide a fresh certified copy that is just as valid as the original for translation purposes. The Register Office operates by post from The Council House, meaning you never have to risk your only copy. This approach keeps your most important papers safe while still giving us the version we require to create an accurate translation.
Who can certify a translation for Romania
The person who signs your paper must be a sworn Romanian translator in Nottingham with the right credentials. They need to hold an official authorisation that Romanian authorities recognize. In Romanian legal terms, this professional is called a traducător autorizat and their work includes a specific stamp or statement of authenticity. The receiving office expects to see these marks of approval. Without them, your translation might get delayed or turned away.
Each translator adds their own signed declaration to the final bundle. This written promise, known as a certification, affirms that the translation matches the original text word for word. The translator’s credentials are what make this binding in the eyes of a Romanian court or government agency. A professional in Nottingham who meets these criteria has the necessary authority to make the translated version legally valid across Romania.
