Latvian nationals can apply for a new identity document – a passport and a personal ID card (eID) at the Embassy.
The service is available for persons residing in Moldova permanently and having declared their place of residence in Moldova with the Register of Natural Persons.
Starting from January 1, 2023, persons who have reached the age of 15 are obliged to also receive a personal ID card (eID) when they receive a passport.
Visitors must appear in person and present their Latvian passport/personal ID card (eID) and in a case of loss of identity document - a police certificate confirming the loss of the document. Previous identity documents must be returned (even if they have expired). Visitors must bring one document photo 5 cm x 6 cm in colour when coming to make a new passport and/ or a personal ID card.
