Existing civil registration records of Romania are located in local offices of civil registration (''Oficiile stării civile'') in each city or town, who maintain records for the past one hundred years. Older records are sent to the Romanian National Archives (Arhivele Naționale ale României) or one of its regional archives. Records are kept under good storage conditions. | |||

Records of births, marriages and deaths created and maintained by civil government are called civil registration (''starea civilă''). Civil registration began as early as 1865 in some regions in Romania. These records are an extremely reliable and valuable source for studying and linking families and relationships; they are the most important genealogical source from 1865 to the present. | Records of births, marriages and deaths created and maintained by civil government are called civil registration (''starea civilă'').
