Certificate/duplicate of the adoption certificate

The duplicate adoption certificate is the document issued to the natural person following the confirmation of registration of the adoption act.

The duplicate adoption certificate is issued on the basis of the adoption act, at the request of the applicant:

the adoptive parent (adopter);
the holder of the act (adopted person), with the authorization of the court for access to information concerning the identity of the biological parents;
the holder of the act, with the written consent of the adoptive parents (adopters) or the territorial guardianship authority.

Note: Since 17.08.2001, the date of entry into force of the Law no. 100-XV of April 26, 2001 on civil status documents, adoption documents are not issued.

The adoption is registered on the basis of the court decision on the adoption consent, by entering the respective mention, if necessary, the modification of the data about the parents and the child in the birth certificate, with the issue of a new birth certificate (the deadlines and tariffs in case of modification will be seen by additionally accessing the link).
