STATE CHILD ALLOWANCE FOR CHILDREN ABROAD

The state child allowance is granted to all children up to the age of 18 who are Romanian citizens, without discrimination, as well as to young persons who have reached the age of 18 and are pursuing high school or vocational education organised under the conditions of the law, until completion thereof.

Children of foreign citizens, as well as those of stateless persons residing in Romania, also benefit from the state child allowance, under the conditions of the law, if they live with their parents.

The state allowance may be claimed by either of the child’s natural parents, as well as by the child’s legal representative,  established in accordance with the law,  provided that the eligibility criteria are met.
