How to obtain citizenship of the Republic of Moldova?

Moldovan legislation offers various legal ways to obtain Moldovan citizenship and a passport, which allow you to benefit from all the rights of a citizen of the Republic of Moldova.

Regaining citizenship of the Republic of Moldova
Persons who previously held Moldovan citizenship have the right to apply to regain it, while retaining their foreign citizenship, if the legislation of the respective country allows this.

Regaining citizenship of the Republic of Moldova:

Persons born or who lived on the territory of Bessarabia and the Moldavian SSR before June 28, 1940, those who were deported or left Moldova since 1940, as well as their descendants, may regain citizenship of the Republic of Moldova upon official request.

The citizenship of minors is decided by their parents who have regained citizenship of the Republic of Moldova. Upon reaching the age of 14, the child's consent is required.

The re-acquisition of citizenship by one of the spouses does not change the citizenship of the other spouse. A foreign citizen or a stateless person, spouse of a person who has re-acquired citizenship of the Republic of Moldova, may obtain Moldovan citizenship under the terms of this Law.

The legislation of the Republic of Moldova allows for dual (multiple) citizenship. Therefore, former citizens of the Republic of Moldova who permanently reside abroad and wish to regain Moldovan citizenship may submit an application to the embassy or consular representation of the Republic of Moldova abroad.

Note:

If you are outside Moldova, you can use the services of our company. It is necessary to contact the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova and issue a power of attorney. This can also be done at a notary in the country where you live.

Documents required to obtain Moldovan citizenship:

• Identity card and international passport;
• Power of attorney;
• Birth certificate, marriage certificate, birth/marriage/death certificates of parents, birth/marriage/death certificates of maternal and paternal grandparents;
• Autobiography including information about marital status, home address, place of work, information about spouse and first-degree relatives (parents, children), reasons for loss of citizenship (original and copy);
• Criminal record certificate from the country(ies) of which you are a citizen, as well as from the Republic of Moldova;
• Four recent color photos, size 4.5x3.5 cm, with a matte finish, on a white background + one photo measuring 10x15 cm, which meets the same requirements.

Other requirements:

If only one of the parents regains the citizenship of the Republic of Moldova together with a minor child, the written consent of both parents, notarized, is required, which must be submitted to the competent authority.

For children between the ages of 14 and 18 who regain citizenship of the Republic of Moldova, their written, notarized consent and a criminal record certificate are required.

The documents required for the re-acquisition of Moldovan citizenship must be submitted in the state language. If the documents are in another language, we will provide translations in the Republic of Moldova, according to the procedures established by national legislation.

Note:

All documents will be presented in original.
