Vehicles

The multifunctional centres (MCs) provide services for replacing driving licences that have been lost or whose validity has expired. However, the issuance of  new registration certificates or of duplicates thereof requires an expert to draw up a vehicle identification report (VIR). The vehicle identification procedure requires special conditions for inspecting the vehicle, namely lifting it onto a ramp (overpass) or placing it over an inspection pit. Owing to the diversity and multitude of services provided, the MCs cannot be equipped with such facilities and, for this reason, the vehicle identification report, which is mandatory under the normative acts on vehicle registration, cannot be drawn up.

The procedure for registering vehicles by persons with locomotor disabilities as such does not differ from the registration of ordinary vehicles, with some exceptions:

• upon registration, persons with locomotor disabilities are exempt from the road tax (art. 343 of the Fiscal Code of the Republic of Moldova);
• upon registration, persons with locomotor disabilities are exempt from the 50 lei fee for the social fund;
• special endorsements are entered in the registration certificates, in accordance with medical prescriptions;
• persons with locomotor disabilities enjoy certain facilities in the customs clearance of such vehicles (Government Decision of the Republic of Moldova no.474 of 20.04.2016).

The prices for replacing registration certificates, depending on their type and the execution deadline, are displayed in the respective section on the Institution’s web page, under “Deadlines and tariffs”.

Guidance on the deadlines and tariffs  for vehicle registration and driver documentation, depending on the type of document and the execution deadline, is displayed in the respective section on the website of the PI ASP, under “Deadlines and tariffs”.

The Nomenclature and tariffs for the services provided by the Public Services Agency are published on the Institution’s web page, under the general section “The Agency”, chapter “Legislation”,  heading “Institutional acts”;

The DRT certificate (new name — “TC”) is an official document issued by the PI ASP (previously issued by S.E. “CRIS “Registru””) on a special form, with a letterhead and security features, confirming the issuance of a driving licence of the respective category, the ownership right over a vehicle or over an assembly marked with an identification number, co-ownership of a vehicle, etc.

Vehicle registration services cannot be provided within MCs because they require an expert to draw up the vehicle identification report (VIR) or, where applicable, laboratory examinations. The vehicle identification procedure requires special conditions for inspecting the vehicle, namely lifting it onto a ramp (overpass) or placing it over an inspection pit. Owing to the diversity and multitude of services provided, as well as their location in busy areas, the MCs cannot be equipped with such facilities and, for this reason, the vehicle identification report or the laboratory examination — documents that are mandatory under the normative acts on vehicle registration — cannot be produced.

The Department for Vehicle Registration and Driver Qualification does not hold information on the conditions for returning vehicle registration certificates withdrawn at customs; this information must therefore be requested  from the Customs Service.
