To provide more convenient and accessible services to the residents of Yerevan, the Municipality has launched the "YES" (Yerevan Electronic Services) platform. This initiative, developed as part of the city’s digital transformation strategy, serves as a unified system for accessing community services. Through the platform, users can view information related to their properties, vehicles, waste disposal payments, fees and taxes, and can also make payments directly. Users are no longer required to remember cadastral codes, identification numbers, or other reference data. Using the platform’s tools, citizens can select services, submit applications, and receive official responses, which will be stored in the "User’s Office" section. The platform offers the same functions to legal entities by linking an automatically created account to the director’s personal account. It is designed to serve as a complete digital alternative to the Municipality’s "One Window" service. A preliminary version of the platform is already available at yes.yerevan.am.
