Moldova

​

Overview

​

Identifiers

Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Moldova and submit them as strings on the application body. Tax ID: 7-digit VAT identifier; prefix MD optional (e.g. MD9234564). Separate from IDNO; issued only upon VAT registration. Not all entities are VAT-registered. Registration number: 13-digit state identifier auto-assigned at registration. Format: 1-XXX-YYY-ZZZZZ-K (registry index, year, office code, sequence, check digit). Serves as tax ID for non-VAT purposes.

How documents combine

For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.

​

Documents to collect

The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed. Not applicable in Moldova: Good Standing. Skip these areas — no local artifact exists.

Collection notes

• Legal Registration: Issued by ASP; contains IDNO, registration date, legal status, administrator, and associates. Available as certified paper or e-extract (equal legal value).
• Constitutive Documents: Single founding act for SRL and SA. Notarized. Filed with ASP at registration; copy retrievable via ASP.
• Tax Registration: Issued by SFS upon VAT registration. IDNO itself is the general tax ID; a separate VAT certificate exists only for VAT-registered entities. For non-VAT entities, the Extras din Registrul de Stat evidences tax identity via IDNO.
• Operating Permit: Municipal-level commercial operating permit; issued by primărie (city hall/local council). Required for retail and service premises.
• Sector-Specific License: BNM licenses banks, payment institutions, e-money institutions, insurers, and non-bank lenders. CNPF licenses investment firms and capital market participants.
• Ownership Records: Extras contains associate names and participation shares for SRL. SA: separate shareholder register (registrul acționarilor) maintained by a licensed registrar or the company.
• Governance Records: Administrator name and appointment details included in the Extras. SA supervisory board (Consiliu) members registered separately.
• Signing Authority: Founding decision names initial administrator. Subsequent signatories: notarized power of attorney (procură). Board resolution (hotărâre) for ongoing matters.
• Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.

​

Person roles

When you submit a person on the application body, set their role to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.

Notes

• The IDNO serves as both the registration number and general tax ID; a separate VAT certificate (cod TVA, 7 digits) exists only for VAT-registered entities — do not conflate the two identifiers.
• Insurance supervision transferred from CNPF to BNM on 2023-07-01; regulated insurance entities must be verified on BNM’s registry, not CNPF’s.
• SA shareholder registers must be maintained by a licensed registrar (registrator autorizat) for companies with more than 50 shareholders; for KYB, request both the Extras and a certified extract from the registrar.
