Center For Legislation Development Foundation

What Center For Legislation Development Foundation does

The Center For Legislation Development Foundation, as identified in the source data, operates the official website of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia (Հայաստանի Հանրապետության Արդարադատության Նախարարություն), a government state entity headquartered at 3/8 Vazgen Sargsyan Street, Yerevan 0010. The ministry serves as the central authority for Armenia's justice sector, exercising exclusive statutory responsibility over civil status registration, legal entity registration, notary licensing, apostille certification, compulsory enforcement of court decisions, bankruptcy administration, penitentiary oversight, anti-corruption policy, and free legal aid for vulnerable populations. Service delivery is hybrid, combining physical offices (notary and civil registry offices across all 10 marzes, the Unified Office for Public Services integrating approximately 100 services from 10 state bodies) with a portfolio of proprietary electronic platforms (e-services.moj.am, e-apostille.am, e-register.am, e-notary.am, e-draft.am, e-request.am, court.am) that enable online application, electronic apostille certification, and 12-digit application tracking.

The business model is non-commercial and state-funded. The ministry collects transaction-based fees for selected services (e.g., a 3,000 AMD state duty for legal-person register extracts, notary fees, and enforcement fees), but most information services are provided free of charge and free legal aid is fully state-funded. Implementation is anchored by five wholly-owned state non-commercial organizations (SNCOs): the Justice Academy of Armenia, the Law Institute SNCO, the Expert Center SNCO, the Translation Centre SNCO, and the Armenian Legal Information System (ARLIS). Strategic priorities are formalized through multi-year programs (Legal and Judicial Strategic Program 2012-2016, Anti-Corruption Strategy 2015-2018, Judicial and Legal Reforms Strategy 2018-2023) and bilateral international engagement, notably with the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights on constitutional reform and human rights protection.
