Procedure for obtaining citizenship

We present the procedure for acquiring Romanian citizenship:
The request for granting Romanian citizenship is addressed to the commission for ascertaining the conditions for granting the citizenship, which works with the Ministry of Justice. The examination of the request by the commission can only be made after the 30 days from the date of its publication.
 
In order to resolve the request, the commission may have:
a) inviting the petitioner to complete the documents, for any explanations, as well as for the interview. Its unjustified non-presentation at two consecutive terms attracts the rejection of the unsupported request;
b) requesting relations from any authorities;
c) quotation of any person who could give useful information.
