To renounce Moldovan citizenship, you generally need to submit an application to the Moldovan Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence (e.g., Russia). Required documents typically include: a detailed autobiography (in Romanian, with notarized translation if needed), proof of acquiring or guaranteeing citizenship of another country, a certificate of residence and family composition, a copy of your valid Moldovan passport with a permanent exit permit stamp, a Moldovan civil status certificate (birth, marriage, divorce, death), and recent photos. If your son is applying and lacks the exit permit stamp in his Russian passport, he may need to obtain it at the Moldovan consulate. The process may involve deadlines for submitting applications and specific requirements for each document, so consult the official embassy/consulate website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
