Romania Opens Baccalaureate 2026 Registrations; Key Dates and Documents Listed

Students in Romania preparing for the 2026 Baccalaureate exam can begin their registration process on June 2, with the deadline set for June 4, 2026. The Ministry of Education has outlined the official calendar for this crucial national examination, ensuring that eligible candidates are aware of the timelines and requirements.

To participate, final-year high school students and those who have previously graduated but not yet passed the exam must submit a set of essential documents. These typically include a standardized application form, a copy of their national identity card, a copy of their birth certificate, and their academic transcript. Depending on the specific high school, additional documents like a recent passport-style photograph might be requested. For graduates from previous years, an attestation of graduation may also be necessary.

The registration is mandatory for all individuals aspiring to take the Baccalaureate exams. Current students will register at the high schools where they are enrolled, while previous graduates will register at centers designated by the county school inspectorates. A key prerequisite for registration is the completion of all high school coursework; students with outstanding or failed subjects (corigențe) must pass these before they are eligible to register for the Baccalaureate.

The Ministry of Education's schedule indicates that the summer session of the Baccalaureate will commence shortly after the registration period. The evaluation of core competencies is set to begin immediately following the conclusion of classes for final-year students on June 4. This structured approach ensures a systematic progression through the examination stages, from initial enrollment to the final results.
