Tigran Sargsyan Gets Acquainted With Comprehensive Cadastre Reform
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the Arabkir customer service office of the Staff of State Committee on Immovable Property Cadastre by the Government and the Yerevan territorial division.
Accompanied by the head of the State Committee on Immovable Property Cadastre, the Prime Minister got acquainted with the complex of reforms underway in the system of cadastre which seek increased transparency, simplified paperwork and minimized contacts between officials and citizens in a bid to reduce corruption risks.
As of January 1, 2012, new structural units – customer service offices – are operational in the system of immovable property cadastre to receive applications from citizens and deliver final documents (certificates, reference notes etc).
The requirement to hand in the applications to specific local units has been cancelled. Those applicants having an electronic signature can from now on submit their applications online through the official website of the State Committee on Immovable Property Cadastre by the Government.
The applications so received shall be provided with an entry number (key) to help the citizens trace them down through the official website of the State Committee on Immovable Property Cadastre by the Government.
The real estate measurement and registration function has been fully privatized to be implemented by qualified staff from private entities. The requirement of notarization of transactions has likewise been called off: an alternative is to have transactions concluded in the system of cadastre using the customers’ authentic signatures.
