The application for the issuance of an emigration authorisation is submitted by the applicant in the country, at any identity document issuance service, including those within the multifunctional centres and, abroad, at a DMCO.
The application for the issuance of an emigration authorisation is submitted together with the following documents, as the case may be:
1) the identity document for internal use. The presentation of the identity document is not mandatory in the cases provided for in Note 1.
Where a person over the age of 14 domiciled in the Republic of Moldova has obtained an identity document for internal use and it is invalid because of a change in personal data, the application is submitted on the basis of the provisional identity card.
If, at the moment of submitting the application for the issuance of the emigration authorisation, the person does not have their identity document for internal use with them, or its validity period has expired, or the applicant declares it lost or stolen, as well as in the case of a child over the age of 14 who has not obtained an identity document for internal use, its presentation is not mandatory. The identity of the applicant or of the person representing them is confirmed by information from the State Register of Population;
2) the identity document of the legal representative. The presentation of the identity document is not mandatory in the cases provided for in Note 1;
3) a valid passport of a citizen of the Republic of Moldova.
Where the applicant does not hold a passport or holds an invalid passport, or requests the issuance of a second passport, the application for the issuance of the passport is submitted simultaneously with the application for the issuance of the emigration authorisation, provided that the deadline of the order for the emigration authorisation service does not exceed the deadline of the order for the passport issuance service;
4) the civil status documents. The presentation of the civil status documents is not mandatory in the cases provided for in Note 2;
5) the document issued by the foreign authorities attesting that the applicant has taken up domicile abroad (the identity document of the foreign citizen with the respective endorsement, the temporary or permanent residence permit, the employment contract, etc.);
6) the certificate attesting the degree of disability;
7) in the case of a child’s emigration — the declarations certified by a notary or by other persons empowered by law to perform such functions, as the case may be:
a) of the parent who remains domiciled or temporarily resident in the Republic of Moldova, showing their consent to the child’s emigration with the other parent or their consent to the child’s emigration to the other parent who is already domiciled abroad. In the latter case, the declaration of the other parent is also presented, showing that they provide living space and ensure the child’s maintenance;
b) of the child over the age of 14 regarding their consent to emigrate with one of the parents.
Where, for certain reasons, the applicant cannot obtain the specified declarations, they shall present the final and irrevocable court judgment on the right to emigrate without such consent;
8) the final and irrevocable court judgment on the deprivation of parental rights — where one of the child’s parents has been deprived of parental rights.
The services of authorising the emigration of a citizen of the Republic of Moldova are provided in accordance with the tariffs established by the Government, depending on the order deadline, and are paid by the applicant.
The application for the issuance of an emigration authorisation for a child who emigrates together with at least one parent is examined free of charge.
