declarare

Declarare is a Romanian term referring to the act of declaring something, or to the process by which information is presented to an authority. The word comes from Latin declarare, meaning to make clear or reveal. In Romanian, declarare describes the act, while the document itself is usually called a declaratie (declaration) or declaratie, depending on context.

In legal and administrative contexts, declarare involves submitting information required by law to a competent authority. This can include sworn statements or declarations of intent, rights, or facts relevant to a case, contract, or regulatory compliance. The accuracy and completeness of a declarare are typically subject to verification and, if falsified, can carry legal penalties.

In taxation and finance, declarare is used in phrases such as declarare fiscală or declarație fiscală, which refers to tax declarations reporting income, assets, and deductible items to tax authorities. Similarly, public officials may file declarații de avere (asset declarations) and declarații de interese to disclose potential conflicts.

In computing and programming, declarare means the declaration of a variable, constant, or function within a programming language, establishing its name and type before use.

The term thus covers both the procedural act of declaring and, in many contexts, the resulting statement or document. The exact usage varies by jurisdiction and administrative tradition, but the core idea remains the same: making information formal, official, and discoverable by the relevant authorities or systems.
