Why is it necessary to replace the second- and third-generation identity booklet of a citizen of the Republic of Moldova when the holder is registered at a new domicile address?

The domicile entry is printed on the reverse side of second- and third-generation identity booklets (card-type models in ID-I format issued after 07.03.2013).

Where the domicile changes, these identity booklets must be replaced. In such situations, the holder of the identity booklet is obliged to request, at any identity document issuance service or at any multifunctional centre, the issuance of an identity card, presenting the documents required for registration at the new domicile address.
