Romanian documents translated into English
Each document type uses different terminology and layouts. A Romanian civil certificate, legal declaration or employment record may require a different translation approach, even when they are all for a UK recipient.
Birth and family certificates
Romanian birth certificates (certificat de naștere), marriage certificates (certificat de căsătorie), divorce-related documents and family records, with names, register details and official annotations.
Criminal record and police documents
Criminal record certificates (cazier judiciar) and other Romanian police or administrative documents. The source terminology and issuing authority should remain identifiable.
Academic and employment records
Diplomas, qualifications, transcripts, training records, references, work contracts and employment letters for UK organisations.
Contracts and legal statements
Declarations, powers of attorney, agreements, court-related papers and legal correspondence. For specialist litigation or legal interpretation, consult the dedicated legal page.
Business and finance documents
Company registrations, financial statements, invoices, accounting reports and commercial correspondence where amounts, dates and defined terms matter.
Healthcare and personal records
Medical correspondence, reports and other specialist documents containing Romanian text, subject to review of terminology and document quality.
Names, diacritics and Romanian administrative terms
Accurate Romanian-to-English document translation requires more than substituting English words. Names, administrative headings, references and legal concepts can be sensitive to spelling and context.
- Romanian diacritics: Letters such as ă, â, î, ș and ț must be read accurately. They should not be discarded from personal names merely to simplify typing.
- Personal names: Match the source and any established passport spelling where supplied, especially if older documents use different forms.
- Dates and registration fields: Keep date order, registry numbers, issue dates and locations clear when translating structured certificates.
- Institution names: Romanian courts, civil registry offices and professional authorities may not have exact UK equivalents. Avoid replacing an institution with an unrelated British title.
- Seals and signatures: Relevant stamps and annotations should be accounted for, with illegible content flagged rather than guessed.
When is certified Romanian-to-English translation needed?
It depends on where the document is going. A university, solicitor, employer, UKVI application or professional regulator may set different requirements for the English version.
For UK visitor applications, GOV.UK guidance requires a full independently verifiable translation of non-English/Welsh documents, including an accuracy statement, date, translator's name and signature, and contact details. Requirements for other immigration routes or recipients may differ.
Certification is not the same as notarisation or apostille legalisation. A translation does not independently establish that the original certificate is genuine or that a recipient will accept it.

Romanian to English document translation FAQs
Practical answers about Romanian certificates, UK submission requirements and ordering.
Can you translate a Romanian birth certificate into English?
Yes. Send all relevant pages of the original certificate, and confirm where the English version will be used and whether certification is required.
Can you translate Romanian marriage and divorce documents?
These can be assessed. Romanian civil records can contain register details, names, dates and official annotations that should remain identifiable.
Do you translate a Romanian cazier judiciar?
Yes, criminal record certificates and related administrative paperwork can be reviewed for Romanian-to-English translation, depending on legibility and the recipient's instructions.
Does UKVI require certified Romanian translations?
Relevant UK immigration routes require verifiable translations of non-English/Welsh documents. Requirements vary by route; check the current application instructions and share them when requesting the quote.
Is a Romanian sworn translation the same as UK certified translation?
Not necessarily. Romanian sworn/authorised translator formalities and UK certification practices can differ. Confirm the receiving jurisdiction and organisation before ordering.
Can Romanian diplomas and employment records be translated?
Yes. Academic certificates, transcripts, references and workplace records can be assessed for translation into English.
Do you keep Romanian diacritics and original names?
Names and special characters are reviewed against the original, together with any established spellings provided on official reference documents.
Can you translate handwritten Romanian?
Handwritten and scanned documents can be assessed where the source is legible. Unclear passages should be identified rather than invented.
Can you translate English documents into Romanian as well?
Yes, that is the reverse direction. Please use our dedicated English-to-Romanian service page.
