Constitutional Court of Armenia

The Constitutional Court of Armenia is one of the central institutions in the legal system of the Republic of Armenia. It is different from ordinary civil, criminal or administrative courts. Its main role is connected with constitutional review and questions that fall within the scope of constitutional justice.

The official English name is Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia. In Armenian, it is Հայաստանի Հանրապետության սահմանադրական դատարան. For practical orientation, it can be understood as the institution that reviews whether laws and certain legal acts comply with the Constitution.

For travelers, foreign residents, students, investors and international visitors, the Constitutional Court is useful to understand the highest constitutional layer of Armenia’s legal system. However, it is not the first place for most ordinary legal issues. Real estate disputes, rental contracts, criminal complaints, family matters, traffic accidents, immigration issues, debt claims or business disputes usually begin before other competent courts or authorities.

The Constitutional Court deals with matters such as constitutional review, the constitutionality of laws and certain legal acts, decisions of constitutional importance and cases defined by law as falling within its jurisdiction. The official website provides access to court decisions, procedural decisions, advanced search, information for citizens, FAQ, news, reports and online request tools.

The official address is 10 Marshall Baghramyan Ave., Yerevan 0019, Republic of Armenia. The main phone number is +37411588181. The same number is listed for the General Division, and the Reception Office of the President of the Constitutional Court uses extension130.

Armenian is the official language of legal and administrative procedures in Armenia. Even if some information is available in English, official applications and documents may require Armenian text or certified translation. In practical legal matters, a licensed lawyer or certified translator may be necessary.
