Purpose of the procedure: The procedure is intended for the renewal of the declaration for the temporary and occasional provision of activities specific to the profession of authorized interpreter and translator and for the registration with the Ministry of Justice of persons legally established in a member state of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), or the Swiss Confederation (CH), for the provision of services in Romania (being physically present on the territory of this state - host state) upon request of the Superior Council of Magistracy, Ministry of Justice, Prosecutor's Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice, National Anti-corruption Directorate, criminal investigation bodies, courts, notary offices, lawyers, and judicial executors. You are legally established in a member state if you meet all the conditions for practicing the profession in that member state and are not subject to any prohibition—even temporary—of practicing the profession. The temporary and occasional character of service provision is evaluated by the Ministry of Justice on a case-by-case basis, especially regarding the duration, frequency, periodicity, and continuity of the provision. In the event the service provider travels to Romania, they must comply with professional, legislative, or administrative conduct rules directly related to professional qualifications, such as the definition of the profession, use of titles, and serious professional offenses specifically and directly connected to consumer protection and safety, as well as disciplinary provisions applicable in Romania to professionals practicing the same profession.

Beneficiaries of the procedure: citizens of a member state of the European Union (EU) or belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Confederation (CH) who are legally established in another member state of the EU, EEA or CH for practicing the profession of interpreter and translator for the justice system and who wish to practice the profession in Romania under cross-border, temporary, and occasional provision.
