Cadastre Committee Replaces Service Offices with Consulting Centers

As part of the ongoing reforms within the system, the Cadastre Committee has introduced a draft decision from the Prime Minister, which aims to implement structural changes within the organization. The changes are directed towards optimizing the operations of the Cadastre Committee's service offices and replacing them with consulting centers.

This was announced on January 19 during a regular session of the National Assembly by the Deputy Head of the Cadastre Committee, Nane Ghazaryan, who emphasized the need for corresponding amendments to the Law on State Registration of Property Rights.

The draft proposes that the acceptance of applications will be carried out not in service offices, but in consulting centers. Within the framework of the transformation and optimization of functions, the Cadastre Committee has also made changes to its charter, resulting in the closure of several service offices last year and the establishment of new subdivisions—consulting centers that have broader functions.

Nane Ghazaryan noted that there has been a significant increase in the number of applications submitted electronically. Specifically, in 2021, the Cadastre Committee received 180,103 applications electronically, while by 2025, this number grew several times to reach 705,167. During the same period, the number of applications submitted in paper form amounted to 333,000.

In response to questions from parliamentarians, the Deputy Head of the Cadastre Committee assured that no staff cuts are planned as a result of the optimization.
