Today, the Apostille in Moldova is no longer a “stamp” in the literal sense of the word. Moldova, like a number of European countries, uses an Electronic apostille. That is, the document and a special code for it are registered in the state system. A printout of the security code and the document name is issued. No wet seals are needed! Anyone wishing to verify the apostille checks it on the state website of Moldova by entering the secret code.
Documents that have received legalization in one state acquire the status of legally valid in another state for which (or for which) it was performed.
The key international document regulating legalization is the 1961 Hague Convention on Simplified Legalization.If a document that circulates among countries that have signed the convention is being legalized, the document legalization follows a simplified procedure: the competent authorities affix an internationally recognized stamp to it, and the legalization is considered complete. This stamp is recognized as legally valid by all countries that have signed the Hague Convention and is called an “Apostille.”
If a document is being legalized for a country that has not signed the Hague Convention, then the standard international procedure, known as consular legalization, is carried out. In this case, several legal actions are performed involving the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Moldova, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova, and the consulate of the destination country.
Legalization for CIS countries is handled under a separate procedure. Currently, international agreements allow documents circulating within CIS countries to be considered as not requiring any legalization. There are also several other special types of documents for which legalization is not required, or for which legalization requires coordination with additional state authorities.
