In Romania, individuals must submit 21 specific documents to apply for retirement at the legal age. Missing even one document can lead to the rejection of the application, causing delays in receiving pension benefits. Eligibility for retirement requires a minimum contribution period of 35 years for men and 32 years and 6 months for women, with age requirements of 65 for men and 63 for women. Additional contributions may allow for penalty-free retirement. The necessary documents include work records, civil status documents, and various certificates depending on individual circumstances. It is advisable to check with the Pension House for any additional requirements.
