Get Romanian Citizenship by Descent: 3 Steps to Your EU Passport (Art. 10 & 11)

Reclaiming your Romanian citizenship is a powerful gateway to the European Union. Consequently, it offers you the right to live, work, and study in any EU country. However, the path to your Romanian Passport under Article 10 or Article 11 requires a perfectly documented file.

At Door to Romania, our experts provide specialized consultancy and file management. We take the stress out of the bureaucracy, especially if you are starting with incomplete family records.

Step 1: Legal Eligibility and Document Retrieval

First, we must confirm that you are a descendant of a former Romanian citizen. Therefore, the most common obstacle is the lack of original birth or marriage certificates.

How Door to Romania helps you: Even if you lack official papers, we provide the necessary support to obtain them.

• Official Document Recovery: We assist you in retrieving records directly from the Romanian National Archives.

• Strategic Planning: Our team analyzes your family history to determine the most efficient legal path for your Romanian Citizenship by Descent application.

Step 2: Professional File Compilation and Compliance

After we secure the foundational documents, we prepare your application folder according to the strict standards of the National Authority for Citizenship (ANC).

Our Management Process:

1. Verification: We meticulously check every document for administrative accuracy.

2. Certified Translations: We manage the authorized translation of all foreign documents into Romanian.

3. Apostilles: Furthermore, we ensure all international papers meet the 2025 regulatory requirements.

4. Consistency: We check that your Romanian Citizenship by Descent file is logically organized for the reviewers.

Step 3: Submission Guidance & Approval Monitoring

Building the file is only half the journey. Finally, you must navigate the submission process and stay on top of the authorities’ timeline.

Ongoing Support:

• Submission Assistance: We guide you through the process of securing an appointment at the ANC headquarters.

• Active Monitoring: Moreover, we track your application’s progress through the official Romanian bulletins.

• Final Certification: Once the President issues the order, we provide the roadmap for your Oath of Allegiance. This is the final step toward your EU Passport.
