Chinese Documents for Use in Romania
Chinese documents for use in Romania need an Apostille issued in China. Both countries are parties to the Apostille Convention, so an Apostille replaces traditional consular legalization entirely.
Key Points
- Apostille issued by a Chinese Foreign Affairs Office is accepted in Romania
- Notarized civil documents and CCPIT commercial certificates both qualify
- No consular legalization is required once an Apostille is attached
- Translation requirements depend on the receiving authority in Romania
- Standard processing takes 5 to 10 working days
Legal Basis
Hague Apostille Convention of 5 October 1961; China acceded on 8 March 2023, in force 7 November 2023.
