Romanian Translation Services for the UK
Romanian is spoken by over 24 million people in Romania and Moldova. The UK has one of the largest Romanian communities in Europe, with over 400,000 Romanian-born residents, creating substantial demand for professional Romanian translation services.
Romanian documents present unique challenges for translation. The language uses Latin script with five special diacritical characters (ă, â, î, ș, ț) and features grammatical cases that affect document terminology. Modern Romanian documents follow EU-standardised formats, but older documents and those from Moldova have different conventions.
Our Romanian translators are native speakers with expertise in Romanian administrative systems and UK immigration requirements. Whether you need birth certificates for UK settlement applications, educational credentials for UK ENIC recognition, or legal documents for court proceedings, our certified translations are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, and all UK official bodies.

Understanding Romanian Document Translation
Accurate Romanian translation requires specific expertise:
- EU multilingual certificates, Since 2019, Romanian civil registry certificates include EU-standardised multilingual annexes. We clearly indicate when multiple languages are present on the original
- Diacritical characters, Romanian special characters (ă, â, î, ș, ț) must be preserved. We ensure correct reproduction to avoid name discrepancies with UK records
- Moldovan documents, Moldova uses Romanian but has different administrative terminology. Older Moldovan documents may be in Cyrillic. We handle both systems
- Name variations, Romanian names may appear differently on older vs newer documents due to spelling reforms. We clarify these variations for UK authorities
- Historical context, Documents from the communist era (pre-1989) follow different formats. Our translators understand these historical conventions
Our translators understand both Romanian/Moldovan bureaucratic systems and UK official requirements, ensuring your documents meet all standards for acceptance.
