Romania is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Since the UK left the EU, UK documents do not benefit from the EU’s simplified document rules, so an apostille is normally needed.
Is an apostille enough for Romania?
The apostille confirms that the UK signature, seal or stamp is genuine, but it does not translate the document. Romanian authorities usually require a translation into Romanian by an authorised translator, and some bodies also want it legalised by a notary. Ask the receiving office what it expects.
Common reasons people need one

Our apostille price is £100 per document. This includes the FCDO fee and tracked return, and we aim to finish within 2 working days of your documents arriving at our office.
Translation is not included and is quoted separately if you need it.
