Documents

Birth, Marriage, Divorce and Death Certificates

Most civil documents from areas outside the Transnister region in Eastern Moldova are available from the Central Republic Archive in Chisinau and are generally reliable. Certified copies can be obtained through the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs Consular Directorate. Non-certified copies can be obtained directly from the Archive. There are no restrictions on the export of these documents.

Civil documents from the Transnister region are not available.

Police Records and Prison Records

Available. If someone wishes to emigrate from Moldova, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will run a criminal check on that person (at their request) and report the results. This official report will list whether the person in question is currently involved in a criminal process and if they have any prior convictions in Moldova.

Passport and Other Travel Documents

The Government of Moldova has announced that its old-style (Soviet) tourist passports expired on December 31, 1966, regardless of the expiration date shown in them. Valid Moldovan tourist passports, which are replacing the old-style Soviet passports, are light blue in color.

In accordance with sections 212(A)(7)(B)(i)(i) and 212(A)(7)(A)(i)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the old-style passports are no longer acceptable for nonimmigrant visa issuance. As of August 31, 1996, the old style passports ceased to be valid for immigrant visa issuance.

Diplomatic and service passports are not affected by this policy. They will remain valid until the expiration dates shown in them.

Special Clearance and Issuance Procedures - Official Travel

• VISAS BEAR SECURITY ADVISORY OPINION REQUESTS: The cases of official diplomatic visa applicants who otherwise require security advisory opinions such as DPT-00 CLASS entries or possible ineligibility under INA 212(a)(3) must be submitted by means of a Visas Bear telegram unless the Visas Pegasus procedure applies. (See below).
• VISAS PEGASUS Name Check Requests: Applicants who are DPT-00 CLASS entries and who are coming to attend pre-ministerial, ministerial, pre-summit, summit, and White House meetings may be issued visas on a post check basis provided that a "VISAS PEGASUS" telegram is sent to the Department immediately upon issuance.

Special Clearance and Issuance Procedures - Nonofficial Travel
