2. For states that are not parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, academic documents will be superlegalized or accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by competent authorities in the country of origin. Superlegalization is performed either by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country and the Embassy/Consular Office of Romania in that country, or by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country, the Embassy/Consular Office of the respective country in Romania and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania. For countries where there are no Romanian diplomatic missions or which do not have diplomatic missions in Romania, academic documents will bear the visa of the Ministry of Education and of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country.
Exemption from superlegalization is permitted on the basis of law, an international treaty to which Romania is a party or on the basis of reciprocity.
Any of the legalized copies (not the certified translation) can be replaced by a simple copy only if the original document is presented.
