THE DEADLINE FOR DECLARING AND REGISTERING THE BIRTH  30 days from the date of birth, for a live-born child and still alive;  3 days from the date of birth, for a stillborn child;  24 hours from the date of death, for a live-born child who died within the 30-day period;  30 days for a child up to one year old, found or abandoned by the mother in the maternity/medical units. THE BIRTH IS DECLARED  at the civil status office within any S.P.C.L.E.P. or at any town hall of the administrative-territorial unit.  through this site, if the declarant logs in with a qualified certificate or has created an identification account and requests the registration of the birth at the civil status office within the S.P.C.L.E.P. or, as the case may be, at the civil status officer within the town hall of the administrative-territorial unit where the birth took place. THE REGISTRATION OF THE BIRTH  is done by the civil status office within the S.P.C.L.E.P. or, as the case may be, by the civil status officer within the town hall of the administrative-territorial unit in which the birth took place. THE 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 the domicile;  If the declaration of birth is made by a person other than one of the parents, a notarised statement from either parent must be presented, showing the child’s domicile;  If neither parent can be identified at the domicile address through the police units, the child is registered with the mother’s domicile. THE CHILD'S SURNAME AND GIVEN NAME  If the parents do not have the same surname, or there is a discrepancy between the child's given name written on the medical birth certificate and the declarant's verbal statement, or the given name contains more than three words, the birth certificate is drawn up on the basis of a written and signed statement by both parents, stating the child’s surname and given name;  In the absence of agreement between the parents regarding the child’s surname, the guardianship court decides the child’s surname and communicates the final decision to the S.P.C.L.E.P./town hall of the administrative-territorial unit which registered the birth certificate; the birth certificate is issued only after entering the mention regarding the establishment of the surname by the guardianship authority; in a similar manner, if the civil status officer refused to register the given name and the parents do not want to choose another given name.  The given name declared at the date of birth registration cannot consist of more than three words. When the birth declaration is made by a foreign citizen, not knowing Romanian language, or by a person with hearing or deafblindness, the necessary documents for registration are required through an authorised interpreter or, as the case may be, an authorised interpreter of sign language or the language specific to persons with deafblindness; the civil status officer/personnel with civil status responsibilities draws up a report. In case the parents’ marriage was concluded abroad and not transcribed in the Romanian civil status registers, the civil status certificate issued by the foreign authorities is urgently transcribed in the Romanian civil status registers; the child’s birth is registered after the parents’ marriage is transcribed. IF YOU 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 live-born child who died within the 30-day period, but within one year from birth, the birth certificate is issued with the approval of the mayor of the administrative-territorial unit in which the birth took place. REGISTRATION OF BIRTH IF MORE THAN ONE YEAR HAS PASSED SINCE THE DATE OF BIRTH After one year has passed from the date of birth, the birth certificate is issued: • at the written request of the declarant; • with the approval of the mayor of the administrative-territorial unit where the event occurred; • with the approval of the County Community Public Service for Personal Records or, as the case may be, the General Directorate for Population Records of the Bucharest Municipality. The application is filed at the civil status structure within any S.P.C.L.E.P. or at any town hall of the administrative-territorial unit. In all cases where a female person, over 14 years old, requests late registration of her birth, she must make a statement before the civil status officer/personnel with civil status responsibilities indicating whether she has any child whose birth has been registered before her own birth registration. Upon completion of the child’s birth certificate, the Romanian citizen child is assigned a personal numerical code which is entered on the issued birth certificate. The fees charged for this public service are set by decision of the local council.
