Documents checklist

What Moldovan citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Moldovan government information:

Moldovan passport (application abroad)

• Embassies and consulates accept the application and send it to the Public Services Agency, which produces the passport
• Book an appointment online and apply in person; the photo is usually taken at the mission
• Your Moldovan ID card (not required for holders of a passport with an “authorised emigration” stamp)
• All your current and expired passports, and civil status records (birth, marriage or divorce certificates)
• Proof of payment of the consular fee (payment methods vary by mission)
• Lost, damaged or expired passport and urgent return: an emergency travel document valid only for the return to Moldova

The embassy is normally closed on the public holidays observed in Hungary – New Year’s Day (1 January), the 1848 Revolution Memorial Day (15 March), Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, Labour Day (1 May), Whit Sunday and Whit Monday, St Stephen’s Day – the State Foundation Day (20 August), the 1956 Revolution Memorial Day (23 October), All Saints’ Day (1 November) and Christmas (25 and 26 December). Christmas Eve (24 December) is also a day off in 2026. When a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, the Hungarian government usually turns the Monday or Friday in between into a rest day (in 2026: 2 January and 21 August), so many offices close on those days as well. It is usually also closed on Moldova’s national day (27 August).

Emergency assistance

In an emergency, Moldovan citizens should contact the embassy. In Hungary, call 112 for any emergency; the direct numbers are 104 for an ambulance, 105 for the fire service and 107 for the police. Hungarian citizens who need help in Moldova can contact the Hungarian embassy accredited to the country or the Consular Service of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (24-hour line +36 80 36 80 36).
