How to apply for Romanian citizenship: step-by-step procedure
The repatriation program provides an opportunity to obtain Romanian citizenship without residency requirements. The process includes a number of mandatory steps, each of which requires careful attention. We accompany the applicant at all stages and take care of legal and administrative issues.
Initial analysis and consultation
If you have information about your Romanian origin or surviving family documents, the specialists will carry out a detailed check. Even if you are not sure of the grounds, it is worthwhile to undergo a free preliminary examination. More than half of our clients found out about their right to citizenship at this stage. We analyze the available documents and data, check the possibility of participation in the program on the basis of legislation, if necessary – we help to organize a search for archival evidence of kinship. Initial consultation and assessment of chances do not require financial investments – it is a real chance to start the path to EU citizenship.
Collection and processing of the dossier
Once you have confirmed your eligibility to apply, our specialists take full charge of the collection and preparation of documents. We submit official requests to archives if some of the information has been lost, provide translations, apostille / legalization in strict compliance with Romanian requirements, assist in filling out applications, questionnaires and other forms, check the dossier for completeness, correctness and compliance with ANC requirements. Only a valid passport and basic data are required from the applicant – we do the rest.
Submission of the application to the National Citizenship Agency (ANC)
The application package is submitted by a lawyer under your power of attorney. As a result, you receive a dosar – a number that you can use to track the status of your case online. Migration specialists keep track of all review processes and promptly inform you of any changes or additional requirements from the authorities.
Waiting for a decision and swearing in
The review process takes an average of 6 to 14 months, depending on the workload of the ANC. Once the citizenship order is issued, the applicant has 12 months to take the oath of office on Romanian territory. At the ceremony, you must read the text of the oath in Romanian. After that you receive a temporary certificate and a citizenship card. We will prepare you in advance for the oath and possible questions from the commission.
Receipt of Romanian documents
After the oath, you have the right to apply for a Romanian passport – at home or abroad through a consulate. You will need a citizenship card, biometrics and payment of the state fee.

Feedback from our clients on obtaining Romanian citizenship
I always knew my grandmother was from Romania, but I never imagined it could open doors to EU citizenship. The team helped me discover documents I didn't even know existed in the archives. The initial consultation was completely free, and they walked me through every step. Within 8 months, I received my citizenship approval.
My great-grandfather left Romania in the 1930s, and I thought that connection was too distant to matter. The specialists proved me wrong during their free preliminary examination. They handled absolutely everything - from archival research to document preparation and translations.
When the war started, I desperately needed legal ways to stay in Europe long-term. A friend mentioned Romanian citizenship by ancestry, and I discovered my grandfather was born in territories that were part of Romania before 1940. The legal team was incredibly supportive and professional throughout the entire process.
