Problem registering US marriage cert. in country of residency

[Mark_Deea 0]

To register a US performed marriage in Romania, contact the Romanian Embassy in Washington DC.

You can arrive with your papers to make the application at 10 am. It took us 3 hours (they were busy).

There is no parking, you will walk minimum 1 km , or use taxi.

You will need these papers:

Translated into Romanian:

Marriage Certificate

Marriage Application

US Citizen's Birth certificate

US Citizen's letter of intent/ freedom to marry

Apostilled:

Marriage Certificate

Marriage Application

US Citizen's Birth certificate

US Citizen's letter of intent(get notarized when you sign it, then apostilled after)

Other:

Photcopy US Citizen's passport

Photcopy US Citizen's Driver license

Cost $143 cash

Registration should take 30 business days. They will call you when your Romanian marriage certificate arrives

in the US and you can send them a prepaid FedEx Express envelope (with Direct Signature) which they will use to mail

your certificate to you.

I hope this helps

Thanks Mark - Deea!! Very helpful & detailed

Have you also changed your name(passport,CI, driver's licence)if so, how much did it cost you with the consulate?And how long did it take?

That's my plan B if I can't do it here! The only thing that I don't like about the plan B is the $$$ :D But it's good to know that it's possible for some extra $$ great timing also!!

In Romania it's about 100 ron to change the passport it takes a couple of days, my CI it's due to expire anyway(takes max 10 days), I don't know how much & how long for the driver's licence...

Thanks again!

The driver license you can have it in Romania but not in the same day.The driver license is made since 2008 in Bucharest and sent by mail to you in maximum 10 days.Good luck with that. . Buy the way since you will leave to your husband soon I don't now if is necessary to change your driver license. You will have the US driver license that is ok to use when you are coming back to visit your relatives.
