Proof of nationality cannot be furnished through false documents.
2. Prima facie evidence of nationality pursuant to Article 2(1) and Article 4(1) can be particularly furnished through the documents listed in Annex 2 to this Agreement, even if their period of validity has expired. If such documents are presented, the Member States and Moldova shall deem the nationality to be established, unless they can prove otherwise.
