When flying from Moldova to Russia with a child who has a Russian Federation (RF) passport and a birth certificate insert, no additional Moldovan or Transnistrian passport is required. The RF foreign passport is sufficient for travel. If applying for a Moldovan passport for a child born in Moscow with Moldovan parents, the lack of a Transnistrian registration (propiska) does not prevent application; a list of required documents will be provided.

To register a child's birth at the Moldovan Consulate in Moscow, you will need original documents: your Moldovan ID ('buletin'), your wife's Russian passport, the Moldovan marriage certificate, and the child's Russian birth certificate. Currently, notarized translations of the Russian documents into Romanian are not required by the consulate. It is advisable to have copies of all listed documents prepared.
A child born abroad to Moldovan parents can apply for Moldovan documents
A child born abroad to Moldovan parents can apply for Moldovan documents. The process involves obtaining an 'OPG' (determination of citizenship). The parent may need to renew their Moldovan passport first. The application for citizenship determination is submitted at the Moldovan Consulate. It may be difficult to secure an appointment.
Under Moldovan law, a child is considered a citizen if at least one parent is a Moldovan citizen at the time of birth
Under Moldovan law, a child is considered a citizen if at least one parent is a Moldovan citizen at the time of birth. This is an entitlement, not subject to the non-custodial parent's consent. However, formalizing this citizenship for documentation purposes (e.g., obtaining a Moldovan birth certificate) may require re-registering the marriage and birth certificate in Moldova. If the father is uncooperative, a power of attorney or legal intervention might be necessary. If the father is deceased or has completely abandoned the child, the process becomes significantly more complex. Legal advice from a lawyer specializing in Moldovan family law or an inquiry with the Moldovan Ombudsman for Children's Rights is recommended. Obtaining a Moldovan birth certificate may require re-registration of the marriage and birth in Moldova, which can be challenging without the father's cooperation or if he is deceased. Legal avenues may involve court orders, but these are often complex and depend on specific circumstances.

For a child nearing 18 years old (e.g., born 2008) whose father is a Moldovan citizen (even if also a Russian citizen with outdated Moldovan documents), urgent action is needed to secure Moldovan citizenship without exams. The critical step is to re-register the child's birth certificate in Moldova before they turn 18. After 18, the process shifts to 'Determination of Citizenship Affiliation' (ОПГ), requiring a criminal record certificate and autobiography, taking approximately one year.
