Legalising a Thai Police Clearance for Romania
A Thai-issued Police Clearance is a domestic document until it is legalised for use abroad. For Romania, that means a two-tier authentication: the Department of Consular Affairs verifies the translator's and issuing officer's signatures, then the Embassy of Romania confirms the MFA stamp. NYC Legal handles both tiers, tracks each counter, and returns your document ready to file.
Why the legalization chain is required
Legalization is a chain of trust, not a formality. When a Romania officer sees the embassy stamp on your Police Clearance, they are trusting the embassy, which trusted the Thai MFA, which trusted the issuing office. NYC Legal builds this chain in the correct order so the final Romania authority accepts the document without follow-up questions.
Certified translation requirements
Because the Romania embassy reads the translated text, translation accuracy directly determines acceptance. Names must match your passport exactly (including transliteration), dates must follow the destination format, and official Thai terminology must map to the correct Romania legal equivalent. We proofread against your passport and prior documents before submission.
Transparent, itemised pricing
Budget realistically: the Embassy of Romania charges 30-150 EUR for authenticating a Police Clearance, the Thai MFA charges roughly THB 200–400 per document (express ~THB 800), certified translation runs about THB 800–1,500 per page, and the NYC Legal all-inclusive service fee is สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่. A typical single Police Clearance therefore lands in the THB 6,000–12,000 range once every counter is paid.
Realistic timelines you can plan around
Turnaround is the sum of the chain: translation (1–3 days) + MFA (2–3 days) + Embassy of Romania (10-21 วัน). We sequence these to overlap wherever possible and track each counter daily. For genuinely urgent Police Clearance files we will tell you honestly whether your deadline is achievable before you pay.
What a legalised Police Clearance is used for
A legalised Police Clearance is commonly required by Romania for immigration and visa applications, marriage registration, family reunification, university admission, employment and work authorisation, pension and social-security claims, property or inheritance matters, and company registration. The most requested documents at the Romania mission include Apostille, Romanian Sworn Translation.
Common mistakes we help you avoid
Common mistakes with a Police Clearance for Romania: wrong order of stamps, an unverifiable translator, mismatched transliteration of names, missing supporting documents (e.g. a marriage certificate needed alongside a name-change record), and booking the embassy before the MFA step is complete. Our review catches these before they cost you a wasted counter visit.
Why work with NYC Legal
Doing this yourself means multiple trips across Bangkok, queueing at the MFA and the Romania mission, and risking a wasted day if any detail is off. We consolidate the entire Police Clearance legalization into one managed service, submit at ถนนสาทรใต้ on your behalf, and return the document ready to file — in Thailand or shipped internationally.
