Moldova vignette

A valid e-vinieta is required for foreign vehicles on the Moldovan national road network. It's linked digitally to your licence plate, so there's no sticker needed anymore.

Prices & validity periods

Our price includes the service fee for immediate, digital linking to your licence plate in English, with no hidden costs at checkout. We currently offer the e-vinieta for passenger cars up to 3.5 tonnes; motorhome and motorcycle vignettes will follow at a later date. Please note: Moldova has no annual vignette for foreign vehicles, 180 days is the longest validity period available.

🧭
Travelling on from Romania? For most travellers from Western Europe, Moldova is a follow-on route after Romania. Please note: Moldova is not part of the EU or the Schengen area, so when planning your route, allow for a border crossing with passport control.

Who does the e-vinieta apply to?

The e-vinieta is mandatory for vehicles that aren't registered in Moldova and that use the national road network. It applies not only to the main roads between the major cities, but to the broader republican road network. If in doubt, check the current status of your route.

What if I don't have a valid vignette?

Checks are carried out via the licence plate, including at border crossings and by the traffic police. Without a valid e-vinieta you risk a fine, so it's best to buy your vignette in advance before crossing the border.

Which vehicles does this e-vinieta cover?

At the moment, we offer the e-vinieta for cars up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight; motorhome and motorcycle vignettes for Moldova will follow at a later date. If your vehicle is heavier than 3.5 tonnes, it isn't covered by the e-vinieta we currently offer.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the Moldova e-vinieta

Do I need to buy an e-vinieta even if I'm only driving through Moldova briefly or just once?+

Yes. The e-vinieta is mandatory for every foreign-registered vehicle using the Moldovan national road network, even for a brief or one-off transit. There is no exemption for a short trip. For a brief transit, the 7-day vignette, the shortest validity period we offer, is sufficient.

Does the e-vinieta apply to all Moldovan roads, or just the main roads between the major cities?+

The e-vinieta applies not only to the main roads between the major cities, but to the broader republican road network. If you're unsure about your specific route, check its current status.

What does it cost if I'm checked without a valid e-vinieta?+

Checks are carried out via the licence plate, including at border crossings and by the traffic police. Without a valid e-vinieta you risk a fine, so it's best to buy your vignette in advance before crossing the border.

Do I need to stick anything to the windscreen, or is the e-vinieta fully digital?+

No. The Moldovan e-vinieta for foreign vehicles is registered entirely electronically based on your licence plate. There's no more sticker on the windscreen; checks are carried out via the licence plate.

Which vehicles can I currently order an e-vinieta for at EuropeVignettes.eu?+

At the moment, we offer the e-vinieta for cars up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight. Motorhome and motorcycle vignettes for Moldova will follow at a later date.

Is there a weight limit for the e-vinieta?+

Yes. The car up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight is the category we currently offer the e-vinieta for. If your vehicle is heavier, it isn't covered by the e-vinieta we currently offer.

What do I need to order an e-vinieta for Moldova?+

Besides your licence plate and the validity period you choose, the order process for Moldova also asks for your vehicle's chassis number (VIN) and your passport number and passport country. Make sure you have these details to hand before you order.

Does the chassis number and passport details requirement apply to every validity period, even the shortest (7 days)?+

Yes, for every validity period, including the 7-day vignette. There's no validity period for Moldova that you can order without a chassis number and passport details.

Why do I need to provide both a chassis number and passport details for Moldova?+

This is a requirement of the Moldovan e-vinieta system itself: besides your licence plate, the official registration also asks for the chassis number and your passport details. We make sure this information is passed on correctly to the official government portal (evinieta.gov.md), so you get a genuine, government-registered digital vignette.

Moldova has no annual vignette — what's the longest validity period I can buy?+

Moldova has no annual vignette for foreign vehicles. 180 days is the longest validity period we offer.

Moldova isn't an EU or Schengen country — what should I keep in mind?+

Moldova isn't part of the EU or the Schengen area. If you're entering Moldova from Romania, for example, allow for a border crossing with passport control.

I'm renting a car in Moldova — do I need to arrange an e-vinieta myself?+

In practice, you as the driver are responsible for this yourself, unless the rental company explicitly arranges it for you. You usually only find out the exact licence plate once you pick up the keys — check it carefully and only order the e-vinieta once you're sure that the licence plate and chassis number match the rental car's registration document.

I drive a lease car — does my e-vinieta stay valid after a licence plate change?+

No, an e-vinieta is linked to one specific licence plate. If your lease car changes (and the licence plate with it), an e-vinieta on the old plate isn't automatically valid for the new car.

Can I use one e-vinieta for multiple licence plates?+

No, an e-vinieta is always linked to one specific licence plate. If you drive through Moldova with several vehicles, each vehicle needs its own e-vinieta.

Can I cancel my e-vinieta and get a refund?+

Once your e-vinieta has been activated and registered, the service has been delivered and the statutory right of withdrawal generally no longer applies, similar to other digital services delivered immediately. If you run into a problem, always contact us; we'll look at what's possible on a case-by-case basis.
