Armenian passport for ethnic Armenians – fast and easy

Immigration laws of Armenia provide for a simplified procedure of obtaining Armenian citizenship based on Armenian descent. Notably, the applicant does not have to speak Armenian or reside in the country.

The main requirement is to provide a document confirming that the applicant is an ethnic Armenian.

Such documents include:

  • baptism certificate issued by a church from the approved list

  • birth certificate with a record confirming Armenian ethnicity of the applicant, or one of their parents, grandparents, siblings.


The applicant can apply for the citizenship either on the territory of Armenia or through a foreign diplomatic mission in the country of residence. Obtaining citizenship on this basis takes an average of 6 months and is not associated with complicated procedures. However, the applicant must be personally present at the submission of documents.
