We Urge You to Conclude a New Insurance Contract Before the Expiration of the Current One: Police Announcement

The police have issued an announcement stating:  "The road police inform that from July 6, 2021, the administrative responsibility for each ten days, which entails a fine of 5,000 drams for not concluding a mandatory car insurance contract, will be resumed due to the state of emergency declared on March 16, 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the state of martial law declared on September 27, 2020, due to the war activities that commenced on the same date.

We remind you that:

1. According to Article 5 of the law on ‘Mandatory Insurance for Liability Arising from the Use of Motor Vehicles’, every individual must constantly have a valid mandatory insurance contract for each motor vehicle registered in the Republic of Armenia that they own (or is provided through a financial lease).

2. According to parts 1 and 2 of Article 129.2 of the law on administrative offenses of the Republic of Armenia:

• Not having a valid mandatory insurance contract for the vehicle registered in the territory of the Republic of Armenia for more than ten days results in a fine for each ten-day period, amounting to five times the minimum wage (5,000 drams).
• Driving a vehicle on public roads in the territory of the Republic of Armenia without having a valid mandatory insurance contract for that vehicle incurs a fine of one hundred times the minimum wage (100,000 drams).

We urge you to conclude a new mandatory insurance contract before the expiry of the current one (immediately after registration if you acquire a new vehicle); if you do not operate the vehicle, please hand over the registration certificate and license plates in accordance with the established procedure.

We also remind you that you can conclude mandatory insurance contracts online or by visiting the office of your preferred insurance company or agent.
