Legal Compliance

MEA Apostille &
Certified Translation Guide

Under Romanian law, official documents submitted to consulates or authorities must be translated to Romanian by a certified translator. Before translation, documents must obtain the official MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) Apostille in their country of origin. We handle both steps for you.
