Asan Xidmət

What Asan Xidmət does

Asan Xidmət (full legal name: State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan) is a centralized state agency created by Presidential Decree No. 685 on July 13, 2012 to consolidate fragmented government-to-citizen and government-to-business services into a single, standardized delivery channel. It operates more than 32 physical service centers across Azerbaijan, including locations in Baku, Ganja, Sumqayit, and Nakhchivan, with recent additions in the previously occupied territories of Zangilan and Shusha; supplementary mobile service units extend reach to remote areas. Services span document issuance and verification, civil-status registration, tax and utility interactions, migration, justice services, and bill payment via the ASAN Finanze arm, delivered through integrated counters connected to more than ten line ministries and state entities.

The underlying platform is an electronic one-stop-shop: citizens can complete multi-step public-service transactions through a unified counter and digital queue infrastructure rather than navigating individual ministry offices. The agency has processed over 100 million cumulative citizen applications (reported as of July 10, 2026) and won the United Nations Public Service Award in 2015. It has also built an innovation subsidiary (INNOLAND) and a cross-border advisory franchise through partnerships with the governments of Guinea and Cambodia, and has appeared at Web Summit 2025 to position the ASAN brand internationally. The operating budget is funded by the Azerbaijani state budget; fees collected from service users flow back to the state rather than constituting independent commercial revenue. Leadership is appointed by presidential decree, with Ülvi Mehdiyev as the chairing figure associated with the agency.
