If you are an American citizen and both your parents were born in Romania but do not have Romanian citizenship can you get Romanian citizenship?
If your parents were born in Romania, they are quite likely Romanian (or were) at time of birth. First step is for at least one of them to go to a Romanian embassy/consulate and fill out a form requesting their birth certificate(s). Next step is for them to fill out a clarification form whereby they seek to clarify whether they had Romanian citizenship, and if so, did they ever lose it. If a determination is made that they did not lose their Romanian citizenship, then you have a birthright to Romanian citizenship. If they had, and subsequesntly lost, Romanian citizenship, then they (and you and your children) have the right to regain Romanian citizenship (in this case knowledge of the Romanian citizenship is a requirement). Hope that helps.

Is a person in the US born to American parents now living in Romania get a Romanian passport?
Short answer:The same way you are eligible for an American passport if you are an American citizen, you are entitled to a Romanian passport if you are a Romanian citizen.Long answer:According to the most recent (1991) Romanian Citizenship Law, since one of your parents is a Romanian citizen (his/her Romanian passport proves this) you qualify for derivative Romanian citizenship, despite the fact you were most likely born outside Romania.The Romanian Embassy in Washington DC or any of the 3 Romanian Consulates (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles can solve this problem for you. It's a 2 step process: 1) Be confirmed as a Romanian citizen; 2) Acquire the Romanian passport. It may be a lengthy process, but it has its advantages (or you would ask the question).Romania officially accepts dual citizenship, while the United States acknowledges its existence, and, usually does not oppose it. Problems may arise when an American citizens is naturalized in another country and, in the process, takes an oath of allegiance to that country, since this may be interpreted as renunciation of American citizenship (which is followed by the loss of the corresponding American passport). You should not face this issues, since you are "automatically" (one parent - based) a Romanian citizen. You do not have to be naturalized, or take an oath towards Romania. You only need to register your Romanian citizenship.------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes, someone can have a Romanian passport, but it is rather complicated-the bureaucracy is high in Romania now.You must provide to the Romanian Consulate or Embassy, or to an in-land Mayor's office or to the Passports Service belonging to the local governor's office (so called Prefectura) a lot of documents in original, as: birth certificate, parent's passports and other ID's, you should fill in a form -or two, or three, a passport demand and so on.BUT. You also have to prove that you speak Romanian -in case you can speak at all, if you are 1 year old or deaf they will not ask for that, possibly you also have to prove -in some cases- that you have a legal Romanian residence or a property.Complicated? YES.More simple and less discriminatory than getting an American passport? YES again.AnswerMost probably yes.If your parent has a Romanian passport then he must Romanian, right?And if he is Romanian you are probably also considered Romanian...even if you have American citizenship.In Romania you can have double citizenship, but in America you are only considered American. However, if you want to use your Romanian passport to get back in America, you will need a visa.So, I suggest you keep both passports.I am not absolutely sure you can have them both, but you can try.You can also ask when you register for one.
