Alright, so I wanted to share my little adventure of getting an Armenian ID card online. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I got it done, and I figured why not put it out there for anyone else in the same boat.
First off, I started by hitting up Google. I just typed in something like “how to get Armenian ID card online” and a bunch of stuff popped up. There was a lot of confusing info, but I finally found something about a national identification platform. There was a message saying “From June 21, 2018, a citizen of Armenia can apply to any passport department of Police, regardless of his/her place of registration for obtaining an ID-card.” That sounded promising!
Digging Deeper
So, I dug a bit deeper into this whole national ID platform thing. The website had a lot of official-looking stuff, but it wasn’t super clear how to actually apply. I spent a good chunk of time clicking around, trying to find an application form or something. The whole process was a little frustrating, to be honest.

Eventually, I found some info saying that the easiest form of ID to get is a government-issued photo ID (a non-driver ID card). That made sense, so I kept searching for details on how to get that in Armenia. It’s like, why wouldn’t they make this process straightforward?
Filling Out Forms
After a lot more searching, I finally found the right forms. It was kind of a pain, but I managed to download them and print them out. Then came the fun part – filling them out. The forms were pretty standard, asking for things like name, date of birth, address, and some other personal details. I filled everything out as carefully as I could, double-checking every entry to make sure it was correct.
I also had to gather some other documents, like proof of residency and a passport-sized photo. Getting the photo was easy enough. But the proof of residency took some time.
Submitting the Application
Once I had all the forms filled out and documents gathered, I had to figure out how to submit the application. The website had instructions, but they weren’t very clear. It seemed like I could either mail it in or submit it in person at a passport department. Since I was doing this all online, mailing it seemed like the better option.
- I put all the forms and documents into an envelope.
- Addressed it to the appropriate department.
- Made sure to include the correct postage.
Then I sent it off and hoped for the best.
Waiting Game
The next few weeks were a waiting game. I kept checking my email and mailbox, hoping to hear back about my application. It was a bit nerve-wracking, not knowing if I had done everything correctly or if there would be more steps involved.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I got a letter in the mail. It was an official notice saying my application had been approved! I was so relieved. The letter said my ID card would be mailed to me within a few weeks.
Success!
Sure enough, a couple of weeks later, my Armenian ID card arrived in the mail. It was a great feeling to finally have it in my hands after all that effort. I now had a valid form of ID, and it was all thanks to some persistence and a lot of online searching.
Looking back, the whole process was more complicated than it needed to be. But hey, I got it done, and now I can share my experience with others. Hopefully, this helps someone out there navigate the process a little easier than I did. If you’re trying to get an Armenian ID card online, just be patient, thorough, and persistent. You’ll get there eventually!
