What is an apostille?
The apostille is a stamp or certificate issued by the competent authorities of a state part of the Hague Convention, for official documents issued in that country, to be presented on the territory of another State part of the Convention. Romania is part of the Hague Convention since 2001.
In other words, when you submit a document in another country member to the Convention, you will have to add an apostille to it.
What is superlegalization?
Supra-legalisation is the procedure carried out by the competent authorities of Romania, which certifies, for the states that are not part of the Hague Convention or with which Romania does not have bilateral treaties for the mutual recognition of documents, that a certain notarised document is indeed an official document.
In other words, superlegalization has the same purpose as the apostille – to confirm that the document you are presenting is indeed an official document, but it applies to states that are not members of the Hague Convention.
Who can carry out the procedure of apostille/ superlegalization?
The documents can be submitted for superlegalization, either personally or through a proxy, as follows:
- With notarized power of attorney, made by a Romanian public notary
- With power of attorney drawn up at a diplomatic mission or consular post of Romania abroad
- With power of attorney made by a foreign public notary, if it is apostilled or superlegalized
- Power of attorney issued by a lawyer
- Services agreement, for companies whose object of activity is the provision of services
Good to know! Documents that can be superlegalized are original documents, certified copies and their legalized translations.
