Legalisation requirements for Romania
Romania is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961 and the FCDO Apostille only should suffice for documents to be used in Romania.
UK Court documents must be certified by the court or issued in original format wet-stamped or sealed by the court to be Apostilled directly by the FCDO otherwise the local authorities in Romania will not accept it.
Hague Apostille Fees
The FCDO Apostille Disbursement fee is:
- £40 for Standard & Express
- £100 for Premium (Restrictions apply)

Apostille Processing Terms
Express: For the Express Apostille Next-Day Service (paper-based Apostille), we must receive the original documentation by 11:15 am am to be despatched the next working day. If the document arrived after 11:15 am it will be processed on the next-working day.
Premium: The Premium Apostille is a restrictive service the FCDO can provide for a few eligible types of documents and they require evidence to support the urgency requirement. Please contact our legalisation team for further details.
