WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Romanian Death Certificate (Certificat de deces)
Romania issues two distinct death documents, and USCIS wants the right one. The certificatul constatator al decesului is a medical form signed by a physician that states the cause of death; the certificat de deces is the civil-status certificate the Serviciul de Stare Civilă (within the local Primărie) issues based on that medical form. For immigration — most often proving a prior spouse's death before a widow(er) remarries or files an I-130 — submit the civil certificat de deces. It lists the deceased's full name, CNP, and the date and place of death, but deliberately omits the medical cause, which is normal and not a deficiency. Older certificates are booklet-style on security paper; the 2025 SIIEASC rollout added an electronic version. Because the surname on this certificate must tie to the surviving spouse's marriage certificate, our certified translation renders the name exactly as printed (with diacritics), plus the registration number, issuing town hall, and seal.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Romanian Death Certificate Comes From
In Romania, civil-status records come from the Serviciul de Stare Civilă (Civil Status Office). Romania is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 2001), so its documents are authenticated with an apostille rather than US consular legalization: civil-status certificates and administrative documents are apostilled by the county Prefect's Office (Instituția Prefectului), while court judgments and notarial acts are apostilled through the tribunals/courts of appeal and the chambers of notaries public.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Romanian Death Certificate Translated
For your Romanian death certificate, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Romanian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Romanian Death Certificate Pitfalls
Romanian death certificates use medical and cause-of-death terminology that must be rendered precisely, and the decedent has to be clearly identifiable to support a widow(er) or prior-marriage claim.
Native Romanian Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.
