Does a Romanian birth certificate need to be apostilled for acquiring citizenship by marriage?
Hello,
According to the EU regulations, it seems that no apostille is needed for a birth certificate from EU countries, but I was wondering if that was really the case.
Was someone refused because of this?
Thanks!

Olá,
De acordo com os regulamentos da UE, parece que não é necessária nenhuma apostila para uma certidão de nascimento dos países da UE, mas gostaria de saber se esse era realmente o caso.
Alguém foi recusado por causa disso?
Obrigado!

Portugal faz parte da UE e não pode negar os regulamentos dela.
I agree it sounds weird.. I was told by the lawyers that this is at the discretion of the person evaluating the application.
I was hoping there would be some people with experience either way on the forum.

It is definitly NOT up to the person evaluating the application discretion, as the EU rules and regulations make it mandatory that any EU country accept other EU country legal documents without apostile. You might need a translation tho.

Não há necessidade de uma tradução. Basta usar o formulário multilingue.

Essencialmente:
(1) Obter uma cópia da certidão de nascimento romena
(2) Solicitar à autoridade que emite a certidão de nascimento romena, que preencha o formulário multilingue correspondente
(3) enviar para Portugal
Hello @LilacCoffee ,
Only worry about translating the document into Portuguese. In article 37, inform that in English, French or Spanish the person who will evaluate the document does not request it. I recommend sending with translation, as it will depend on the person.

In Portugal's civil code, it states that European and international regulations there is no need to apostille or validate the document to send.
