🖥️ Phase 2: The "New Age" Method (Highly Recommended)
Bucharest police have modernized significantly. You no longer need to stand in line for hours like in the old days.
The "Ghiseul.ro" Reservation: This is the cheat code for Secția 21.
- Go to ghiseul.ro.
- Register or Login.
- Select the service: Cazier Judiciar.
- Search for: Poliția Municipiului București - Secția 21 Poliție.
- Book a specific time slot.
Why this wins: You show up at your reserved time, skip the general "information" line, and go straight to a window. You will see people waiting in the hallway looking sad; you will walk past them with your printed reservation (or QR code on your phone) and get served in minutes.
Monday: Closed for Internal Processing
- Status: Program cu publicul: NU
- Many people go to Sectia 21 on Monday only to find a sign on the door. Mondays are generally reserved for internal records management, archiving, and responding to legal requests from courts/prosecutors. Do not go on a Monday unless you have a specific summons from the station itself.
Step 3: Processing Time
- Standard issuance: 3-5 working days. You return with your receipt to pick up the certificate.
- Express (Urgent): Only available if you have a plane ticket or a medical emergency (proof required). Express takes roughly 24 hours.
