The Moldovans will be able to easier obtain particular identification papers as from December 25, when the new regulations on the issuance of IDs to the citizens of the Republic of Moldova who are in the country or abroad take effect, IPN reports.

According to a press release issued by the Public Services Agency, a part of the public services intended for the Moldovan citizens will be simplified. Under the new regulations, the children whose parents are abroad will be able to obtain IDs in the absence of these, being accompanied by a representative of the local tutelage authorities.

Also, the persons who settled abroad or are in the process of moving the domicile abroad will not be obliged to present a valid identity card, the soldier’s permit and the pensioner’s permit for obtaining a Moldovan passport.

The persons who cannot move, those who receive forced treatment, are in remand detention or in jail will be able to grant representation power free of charge through MPower to persons who will be able to act in their name to obtain IDs.

Earlier, the maximum period for obtaining the emigration authorization was shortened from three months to 20 workdays and the charge for this service was reduced.
