It is planned to digitalize the processes of acquiring and terminating citizenship

At the government’s regular meeting, the issue of digitalizing the processes of acquiring and terminating citizenship was discussed.

The draft laws proposing amendments and additions to the “Law on Citizenship of the Republic of Armenia” and the “Law on State Duties” were approved.

The draft proposes to digitalize the processes of acquiring and terminating citizenship by creating an option for submitting documents electronically in advance. In this case, the competent authority will verify the completeness of the documents, after which the applicant will be able to book an appointment and personally submit the documents to the relevant body.

It is also proposed to increase the state duty for acquiring and terminating citizenship, setting it at 50,000 AMD and 150,000 AMD respectively, instead of the current 1,000 AMD and 25,000 AMD.
