Obtaining a residence permit in EU countries: stages of registration of temporary protection in Romania
Steps to register as a beneficiary of temporary protection in Romania
Registration as a beneficiary of temporary protection in Romania is designed to be simple, facilitated by the General Inspectorate for Immigration. Here is a detailed description of the process and required documentation:
Registration process : Registration of residence permit in EU countries
When you present yourself to the immigration authorities in Romania, the procedure involves several key steps:
Consent to Data Processing: You will sign a consent form allowing authorities to process your personal data.
Photocopies of documents: The authorities will make photocopies of the personal documents you have submitted.
Document verification: Your personal documents will be verified for authenticity and completeness.
Photograph: Your photograph will be taken for official documents.
Data registration: Your data will be registered, including:
First and last name
Date of birth
Nationality
Sex
Information about the identity card
Marital status
Family ties
Address in Romania (if known)
Issuance of a residence permit: You will receive a residence permit in Romania that contains a personal identification number (CNP).
Note. Proof of your address in Romania is optional if it cannot be provided.
Physical presence requirement
Each person, including children, must be physically present at check-in to be photographed and identified. This ensures accurate and complete records for all temporary protection beneficiaries.
Required documents for registration
During registration, you must provide the following documents (if available):
Proof of identity: such as an identity card, driver's license, travel document or any other official photo ID.
Confirmation of status in Ukraine: documents such as permanent residence permits or those issued to beneficiaries of international protection.
Documents on family relationships: including family books, birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc.
Registration of unaccompanied minors
Unaccompanied minors, defined as persons under the age of 18 who arrive in Romania without a parent or legal guardian, require special procedures:
Definition and situation: A minor is considered unaccompanied if he or she arrives without a legal guardian who can officially confirm guardianship.
Special protection: The Romanian state provides special protection, including the appointment of a legal representative from the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection.
Registration process:
The General Immigration Inspectorate will register a minor only in the presence of an appointed legal representative.
If a legal representative has not yet been appointed, the General Inspectorate will apply for the appointment to the Department of Social Assistance and Child Protection.
Personal data and contact information of a minor are collected and transferred for the purpose of appointing a legal representative.
Registration as a person with temporary protection takes place only after the appointment of a legal representative and the presence to sign the necessary documents.
Document issued to beneficiaries
After registration, persons granted temporary protection receive a residence permit from the General Inspectorate of Immigration. This permit contains a personal identification number (CNP), which is crucial for interacting with the Romanian authorities and accessing rights related to temporary protection. These rights include access to the labor market, healthcare and education, guaranteeing beneficiaries the opportunity to integrate and receive support during their stay in Romania.
Registering for temporary protection in Romania is a simplified process aimed at providing immediate support to those fleeing conflicts, such as the situation in Ukraine. By following the steps described and ensuring that the necessary documents are provided, beneficiaries can quickly obtain their residence permit and gain access to the basic services and rights provided by the Romanian state.
