Moldova introduces a new type of European-style identity card, which will be available for request from April - Dorin Recean
Prime Minister said Government proposes to issue the first one million identity cards free of charge to those who request them normally. The new ID card is not compulsory, but will gradually replace the existing ID cards. It can be applied for from the age of 14 and no longer includes a residence registration, eliminating the need to change documents every time you move. The new ID card contains an electronic signature. This means that any citizen, wherever he or she is, any entrepreneur will be able to access state electronic services online, without queues at institutions, without a power of attorney, without the need to have a Moldovan phone card. “This is good news for all Moldovan citizens, both in the country and in the Diaspora,” Dorin Recean said. He said that on the way to EU accession, the new ID cards can be used to cross the border without additional documents. “I urge you to apply for a new identity card and take advantage of the fact that the state is offering it free of charge for the first million citizens,” Prime Minister emphasized. //26.03.2025 - InfoMarket.
