The platform was developed by the Agency for Digitalization of Justice and Judicial Administration, subordinate to the Ministry of Justice, together with the Chamber of Notaries.
Until now, notaries used an outdated application, which often caused delays and errors in the execution of orders. The new system works directly from the browser, with authentication via MPass, without additional downloads.
The registry, developed to replace an outdated database created 27 years ago, is characterized by a modern interface, complies with the latest cybersecurity standards and significantly simplifies the work of notaries.
The new registry allows notaries not only to register inheritance deeds and wills, but also to search for information about them or revoke them. The system, linked through MConnect to other state registries, including the State Population Registry, offers IDNP searches, increasing accuracy and reducing the risk of errors.
In doing so, citizens can expect a faster procedure.
The cost of notary services in Moldova depends on the type of service and the amount of the transaction. For example, a notary can charge 1.0-1.3% of the transaction value for the certification of real estate sale and purchase transactions for the amount up to 50 thousand lei, but not less than 180 lei.
For the certification of a will or issuance of a general power of attorney, a fixed fee or a percentage of the transaction amount is charged, which may vary depending on the type of will (open, closed) and may range from 2.4 thousand to 3.3 thousand lei plus the notary fee.
Entry into inheritance by heirs of the first turn – 0.3% of the value of the property, but not more than 100 thousand lei. For others, inheritance will cost 0.6% of the value, but not more than one million lei.
