PwC Moldova: The Requirement for Companies to Hold and Use Stamps Was Excluded

• 22.09.2016

Starting with 16 September 2016, companies and entrepreneurs are no longer required to hold and apply their own stamp on documents of any kind.

In case the legislation requires application of the stamp, such requirement is considered fulfilled if the document is signed by the individual duly authorised by the company or the entrepreneur (in case of individual entrepreneurs).

The right of private legal entities to hold and apply their own stamp on a voluntary basis remains unaffected.

Începând cu 16 septembrie 2016, întreprinderile și întreprinzătorii din Republica Moldova nu sunt obligați să dețină și să aplice ștampila proprie pe înscrisuri de orice natură.

În cazul în care legislația prevede necesitatea aplicării ștampilei, cerința se consideră îndeplinită dacă înscrisul este semnat de persoana împuternicită de întreprindere (i.e. administratorul) sau de către întreprinzător (în cazul întreprinzătorului individual).

Dreptul persoanelor juridice private de a deține și de a aplica ștampila proprie pe principii benevole rămine neafectat.
