Extract of your birth certificate (duplicate)

Good to know

The standard fee is 240 lei in 20 working days (220 lei if you apply online). Faster: 480 lei (10 working days), 720 lei (5), 960 lei (1 working day), 1200 lei (same day).
The extract shows the latest version of the record. If you want the changes listed one by one in the remarks, say so in the request.
Certificates and extracts issued before 1 November 2025 on the old strict-record forms stay valid, as long as the personal data and the status of the record have not changed.
For use in some European countries, ask for the multilingual extract: it needs no apostille or translation there.

Get the extract
If you applied online, the electronic extract appears in your personal cabinet. People who are not the holder themselves receive it printed on paper (A4).

The paper extract can be collected at the office or mission where you applied, at another civil status office you name in the request, or delivered to an address in Moldova or abroad by MDelivery.

Required documents

Usually you bring nothing special: the office finds the record itself. Papers are needed only in these cases:

Power of attorney
the original, if someone applies for the holder
Proof of kinship
if relatives apply and the office cannot confirm the relationship from its own records
Inheritance certificate
if an heir of a deceased holder applies (original or notarised copy)
Proof of a name change
foreign civil status documents are handed in as originals or notarised copies
Other earlier civil status documents, and official papers that ASP cannot get automatically through the government interoperability platform, including documents issued by foreign authorities
Guardianship papers
if the request is made for a child under one of the forms of protection: the guardianship order, service ID, authorisation and ID of the representative
Prison
if the holder is in prison, the request authenticated by the head of the penitentiary and the material from the personal file confirming the detention

Who can ask?

The holder of the document can ask for it, or someone the holder (or the holder's heirs, if the holder has died) has authorised. If the holder has died, the surviving spouse, children, parents and grandparents can ask, and, under the rules, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

While the holder is alive, parents, adult children, grandparents, adult grandchildren and adult brothers and sisters can ask in person.

Free of charge

Free for some Moldovan citizens: people with a severe, accentuated or medium disability, war veterans, old-age pensioners and others listed in Government Decision 966/2020.
