Source and verification
This page uses official public guidance from Public Services Agency of the Republic of Moldova. Some biometric values remain generalized where the public source does not publish every numeric detail.
Official Moldovan identity-card guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. The Public Services Agency service page states that the identity card contains the holder's facial image and fingerprints, and that when applying the applicant undergoes facial-image capture and, where applicable, fingerprint collection. This confirms an authority-capture route rather than a separate applicant-photo workflow, so the profile is modeled as official-general.
