Moldovan Laissez-Passer Photo

Photographs for a Moldovan Emergency Return Document

A Moldovan emergency travel document helps an eligible traveller return when a valid travel document is unavailable. The embassy in Washington publishes separate checklists for adults, children and applications sent by post. Its procedure requires two recent colour passport-type photographs in the specified format, on white photographic paper.

Those measurements are specific to the published Washington service and should be read with that mission’s instructions. Use the photo requirements below and our framing, background, facial expression and photo quality guidance to prepare matching prints with a clear likeness. A new application picture should not simply be cut from the copy of an expired passport.

Postal applications add an identity-certification step: the embassy asks for a notarised deed bearing the applicant’s photograph. In-person and child applications have their own supporting evidence. Keep the requested identity documents, expired or damaged passport where available, and any loss declaration together before selecting the submission route.

Our embassy and consulate directory helps locate the mission responsible for your location, while the Moldova page connects ordinary Moldovan passport guidance for later arrangements. Use the visa finder for preliminary route research and confirm acceptance of the emergency document for any transit. The return document’s immediate purpose and the subsequent regular passport application are separate stages.
