Personal rights related to the identification of the person are internationally recognised rights in the European Convention on Human Rights. Thus, the right to a name, the right to domicile and the right to marital status are expressly stipulated. According to the ECHR, all these rights are included in the right to respect for private life, which is also enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova. The institution of personal identification is complex and important because of its very applicability in all branches of law, where the person is in a legal relationship and has rights and obligations. We believe that respect for these rights arises from the need for a legal order in all the situations in which a person finds himself in the course of his life.
