Ask a questionThe records of residents are kept by registration at the home address and/or at the temporary residence, in dwellings in public or private ownership, or in other living premises regulated by the legislation in force.
You can have only one home address and one temporary residence. If you own several dwellings, you can choose in which of them to set your home address or temporary residence.
When you change your home address, registration at the new address is carried out at the same time as deregistration from the records at the previous address.
Registration at a temporary residence does not mean deregistration from the home address. If the dwelling was handed over for use under a lease contract, the period of the temporary residence is taken from that contract.
A child up to 14 years of age is registered at the home address or temporary residence of the parents, of one of the parents or of the legal representative, unless the court has decided otherwise.
The application can be submitted in person, through a representative authorised through MPower or by a notarised power of attorney, or by other persons authorised by law. The application may be submitted ex officio by other persons if the change of home address or temporary residence does not require the identity document to be changed. Specific conditions for registration and specific conditions for deregistration.
To request the service online, you must:
- be a citizen of the Republic of Moldova and at least 18 years old;
- hold an electronic signature;
- hold a valid internal-use identity document – an identity card (buletin) or an identity card (carte de identitate);
- be the owner or co-owner of a private dwelling registered in the Register of Immovable Property (RBI);
- have the dwelling address data in the RBI match the data in the State Register of Administrative-Territorial Units and Addresses (RSUATA).
Important! If you hold an identity card (buletin) issued between 7 March 2013 and 31 March 2025, it becomes invalid if you change your home address to another address. In this case you must request a new identity card (carte de identitate).
For children under 18, the online application can be submitted together with the parent's application if both parents are married and children who have turned 14 hold a valid identity card. The child will be registered at the same address and for the same period as the parent who submits the application. The online application for children cannot be submitted for unmarried or divorced parents, or for a single parent or an unmarried parent.
If other (third) persons are registered at the selected dwelling address, the owner can request their deregistration from the records, at the same time as or separately from the application for registration at the home address or residence in their own name. Minor children of third persons can be deregistered only together with their parents.
Prior appointment to request the services at the territorial subdivisions of the PSA is available here.
