Why Armenia's e-Cadastre Matters: Digital Registration
Armenia's Cadastre now accepts complete online submissions for the registration of property rights. Applicants upload documents, electronically sign the application, and pay state fees within the portal; a submission receipt is emailed immediately. Critically, a property right becomes legally effective only once it is entered in the Cadastre and the new certificate is issued.
How to Apply Online: Step-by-step
- Go to the official e-services portal: e-cadastre.am. Create an account or sign in to start your Cadastre Armenia application, then choose the service for registering ownership rights.
- Prepare and upload your documents: sale/purchase contract, IDs, prior ownership extract, and any required Armenian translations and notarizations where foreign documents are involved.
- Electronically sign the application and confirm parties' details. The system accepts e-signed submissions from anywhere.
- Pay state fees online. The portal integrates electronic payment for the registration fee and state duty and emails an official submission receipt.
- Wait for processing. Standard processing completes in 4 working days; expedited 3-day or 2-day options are available for higher fees.
- Registration and certificate. Your ownership is effective when it is entered in the Cadastre and the certificate is issued.

Who Can Apply: Armenian and Foreign Buyers
Armenian citizens, foreign citizens, and stateless persons can apply to register property rights online via the official portal, provided they submit the required documents and pay the applicable fees. Applications can be signed and submitted electronically through the e-Cadastre interface. This makes Armenia property registration online feasible even if the buyer is abroad.
Sellers and Authorized Representatives
The seller (current owner) or an authorized representative may also file or co-file the application online, consistent with the Cadastre's service rules. When a representative acts, a power of attorney and the representative's ID are typically required, with Armenian translations and notarization if the documents are foreign.
Corporate buyers and sellers can register in their company's name; ensure corporate documents and signatory authority are in order, and translated/notarized where applicable. If you are acquiring property as part of a business setup, see our guide to company registration.

Ottieni supporto legale professionaleRequired Documents: Sales Contract
The core document is the signed sale/purchase agreement for the property. Ensure the contract clearly identifies the property and the parties and is properly executed per Armenian law; if the contract or signatures are foreign, Armenian translations and proper notarization/legalization may be required.
IDs
Submit valid identification for the buyer and seller (passport or national ID card). For representatives, include the representative's ID together with the power of attorney.
Ownership Extracts
You will typically need a prior ownership certificate or extract (confirming the seller's registered right and property details). If you do not have a recent extract, we can retrieve it on your behalf for the online submission.
Translations and Notarizations
Any documents in a foreign language (IDs, POAs, corporate documents, or the contract) should be translated into Armenian and notarized. Apostille/legalization requirements may apply depending on the issuing country and document type. We can arrange certified translations aligned with Cadastre expectations.
