History
The first Transnistrian passport was issued on 1 October 2001.[2]
Until then, starting in the mid-1990s, citizens were issued a paper insert in addition to a passport of another state (or a Soviet Union passport, whose design was used from 1974 until its expiration after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991) indicating the citizen's connection with Transnistria.
Validity
Transnistria is not recognized by any country of the world (with the exceptions of the partially recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia). Transnistrian passport is only valid for travel to Moldova.[3] As dual nationality is permitted, most people affected are entitled to either a Moldovan, Romanian, Russian or Ukrainian passport for travel abroad.[4]
