Obtaining Vital Records from Moldova

The need to obtain duplicate vital records from Moldova (certificates, archival extracts, and official records) most often arises when they are required by foreign authorities for residence permits, citizenship applications, employment, or other legal procedures abroad.

Vital records are also required by individuals who plan to obtain citizenship of Moldova, Romania, Israel, or other countries. This is particularly relevant for applicants born abroad who have direct-line relatives (parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents) born in the Republic of Moldova.

In practice, many people face difficulties due to missing documents: original records may be lost, contact with relatives may be unavailable, or there may be a lack of understanding of how to search for and obtain documents through archives or civil registry offices. In such cases, obtaining or restoring documents independently becomes difficult or even impossible.

We provide legal assistance in obtaining vital records from Moldova, including birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates, as well as archival extracts and duplicates. All procedures can be completed remotely through a power of attorney — from submitting the request to receiving the final documents.
