BIRTH IS DECLARED  at the civil status structure within any S.P.C.L.E.P. or at any city hall of the administrative-territorial unit.  through this website, if the declarant logs in with a qualified certificate or has created an identification account and requests the birth registration at the civil status structure within S.P.C.L.E.P. or, as the case may be, by the civil status officer within the city hall of the administrative-territorial unit where the birth occurred. REGISTRATION OF BIRTH  is done by the civil status structure within S.P.C.L.E.P. or, as the case may be, by the civil status officer within the city hall of the administrative-territorial unit where the birth occurred. MINOR'S DOMICILE:  If the parents have different domiciles, the parent declaring the birth will give a statement indicating with which parent the child will have domicile;  If the declaration of birth is made by a person other than one of the parents, a notarized statement from either parent indicating the child's domicile must be submitted;  If neither parent is identified at the domicile address through the police units, the child is registered with the mother's domicile. THE CHILD'S FAMILY NAME AND FIRST NAME  If the parents do not have a common family name or there is a discrepancy between the child’s first name written in the medical birth certificate and the declarant's verbal declaration, or if the first name consists of more than three words, the birth certificate will be drawn up based on a written and signed declaration by both parents, indicating the child's family name and first name;  In the absence of parental agreement regarding the child's family name, the guardianship court will decide the child's name and immediately communicate the final decision to the S.P.C.L.E.P./city hall that registered the birth certificate; the birth certificate will only be issued after the mention regarding the setting of the family name by the guardianship court has been recorded; the same applies when the civil status officer refuses to register the first name and the parents do not wish to choose another first name.  The first name declared at the time of birth registration may not consist of more than three words. When the birth declaration is made by a foreign citizen, not fluent in Romanian, or by a person with hearing or deafblind disabilities, the documents required for registration of the act are requested through an authorized interpreter or, as the case may be, an authorized interpreter of sign language or the language specific to people with deafblindness; the civil status officer/personnel with civil status duties will draft a report. If the parents' marriage was concluded abroad and has not been transcribed in the Romanian civil status registers, the civil status certificate issued by foreign authorities will be urgently transcribed in the Romanian civil status registers; the child's birth will be registered after the parents' marriage has been transcribed. IF YOU HAVE DECLARED THE BIRTH AFTER THE LEGAL DEADLINES, NAMELY: • 30 days for a live-born child, • 3 days for a stillborn child; • 24 hours from the date of death for a child born alive who died within 30 days but within one year from birth, the registration of the birth certificate is made with the approval of the mayor of the administrative-territorial unit where the birth occurred. REGISTRATION OF BIRTH IF MORE THAN ONE YEAR HAS PASSED SINCE BIRTH After one year from the date of birth, the birth certificate is drawn up: • at the written request of the declarant; • with the approval of the mayor of the administrative-territorial unit where the event occurred; • with the mandatory approval of the county community public service for personal records or, as the case may be, of the General Directorate for Personal Records of the Municipality of Bucharest. The request is submitted at the civil status structure within any S.P.C.L.E.P. or at any city hall of the administrative-territorial unit. In all cases where a female person, over 14 years of age, requests the late registration of her birth, she will make a declaration before the civil status officer/personnel with civil status duties, indicating whether she has any child whose birth was registered before the registration of her own birth. Upon the preparation of the birth certificate, the Romanian citizen child is assigned a personal numeric code, which is entered on the issued birth certificate. The fees charged for this public service are set by local council decision.
