This is a GovSchema Standard Research cycle (GOV-3351), a general research-analyst brief covering DMV, Business Formation, Visa, Passport, Taxes, and National ID & Civic Documents across all jurisdictions.

Why this candidate

Armenia opened as this registry's 66th jurisdiction in the immediately preceding cycle (GOV-3343), with a single vertical modelled — Visa, via am/mfa/evisa-application. Building out an already-open jurisdiction's next vertical was preferred over opening a 67th brand-new jurisdiction from scratch, following this registry's established practice.

A research scout (spawned this cycle, research-only) screened all five of Armenia's remaining verticals:

• DMV: roadpolice.am (Road Police, Ministry of Internal Affairs) gates every registration/licensing action behind the national YesEm login; the vehicle-sale/registration handoff at car.mia.gov.am redirects into the same login. No downloadable specimen application form or public field-level wizard was found. Confirmed a dead end.
• Taxes: the State Revenue Committee's src.am publishes only general calculation-methodology PDFs, not a specimen declaration with box numbers; actual individual filing happens exclusively through the YesEm-gated self-portal.taxservice.am/file-online.taxservice.am. Confirmed weak/dead end this cycle.
• Passport and National ID: migration.e-gov.am's own service-detail pages for both (/en/service/first_passporting/info, /en/service/id_cards/info) are behind a Radware "Verifying your browser" bot-check wall on every fetch attempt; issuance is described elsewhere as in-person only. Confirmed dead ends.
• Business Formation: the modern e-register.am/e-register.moj.am portal is Radware bot-protected and gates the application itself behind YesEm login — but its own footer links to a still-live legacy mirror, old.e-register.am, reachable with plain unauthenticated curl (no bot wall), which serves the Agency's own downloadable template library directly. Strong candidate — authored this cycle.

Sources examined

Primary sources

• Authority: Իրավաբանական անձանց պետական ռեգիստրի գործակալություն (State Register of Legal Entities Agency, Staff of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia) — the registering body named in the Charter's own registration-stamp block, not assumed from domain reputation alone.
• Document 1 — Model Charter (Կանոնադրության նմուշային ձև) of a Limited Liability Company.
  • URL (directly retrieved, HTTP 200): https://old.e-register.am/am/docs/302
  • File identity: legacy OLE2 compound-file .doc (confirmed by its own D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1 magic bytes, not an HTML error page), 62,976 bytes, sha256:2a9be0c8234b6b0b33a3d1ded0cc8c3b64c9f9fd0360d33d3cc34275db9ab63a.
  • Extraction method: the npm word-extractor package (no antiword/catdoc/LibreOffice available in this environment), full body text extracted and read in Armenian.
  • Structure confirmed: §1 General Provisions (firm name in 3 languages × full/abbreviated form, registered address); §2 Participant rights (fixed boilerplate); §3 Charter capital (amount, share count, nominal value per share); §4 Management (director's authority, fixed 25%-of-net-assets self-dealing threshold printed directly in the template, not a blank — not modelled as a field for that reason); an annex participants list (per-participant country of incorporation/citizenship, name, "Սոց. քարտի համարը (առկայության դեպքում)" — social-card number, explicitly marked "if available" in the template's own text — passport/registration data, address, share count/percentage).
• Document 2 — Sole Founder's Decision (Հիմնադրի որոշում).
  • URL (directly retrieved, HTTP 200): https://old.e-register.am/am/docs/415
  • File identity: same OLE2 .doc format, 39,424 bytes, sha256:75986362709182483d6a745b0e39b232198ed5a247d8a7df75e874a66f9a5a47.
  • What it adds beyond the Charter: decision protocol number/city/date; confirmation the sole founder owns every share; charter adoption; and, uniquely, the director-appointment paragraph's own fuller field set — passport series/number, issuing authority, issue date, address, 10-digit Public Services Number (ՀԾՀ), email, and the employment contract's term in years — none of which the Charter itself collects for the director.

Corroborating source (not modelled, disclosed as out of scope)

• Document 3 — Firm Name Registration Application (Ֆիրմային անվանման գրանցման հայտ).
  • URL (directly retrieved, HTTP 200, genuine text-layer PDF): https://old.e-register.am/am/docs/19
  • File identity: 29,613 bytes, sha256:fedef43f3befd185a09d13d8e38594d08765a78c1f52a551a0745aaec10aaa42.
  • Extraction method: pdfjs-dist (legacy build), getTextContent().
  • Confirms this is a live, government-authored template library (three alternative trilingual name options, applicant name/signature, a registry-completed acknowledgment block) — used only as corroboration that old.e-register.am is genuine and current, not folded into this schema. It represents a separate, optional name-reservation pre-step, and is thin on its own (~10 fields).

External reference

• Public Services Number (ՀԾՀ) format: confirmed as a 10-digit personal identifier via Armenia's Migration and Citizenship Service (migration.mia.gov.am) and secondary explainer sources (move2armenia.am, armenian-lawyer.com), not assumed. Modelled as ^[0-9]{10}$.

Scope and disclosed boundaries

This schema is deliberately scoped to the single natural-person founder case, the direct Armenian counterpart to this registry's own de/handelsregister/gmbh-formation-musterprotokoll (also single-founder- scoped). Explicitly out of scope, and disclosed rather than silently omitted:

• The multi-founder Charter variant and its accompanying Founders' Meeting Protocol (Հիմնադիրների ժողովի արձանագրություն) — the document a multi-founder LLC would execute in place of the Sole Founder's Decision. This cycle located and downloaded a joint-stock-company (ԲԲԸ) sibling category page listing this document by name for that entity type, but did not locate/fetch the LLC-specific specimen itself; a future cycle could extend this schema with a founderCount-gated requiredWhen branch once that specimen is in hand.
• A corporate (as opposed to natural-person) sole founder — the Charter's own annex separately supports this via its "Պետությունը, որտեղ հիմնադրվել է" (country of incorporation) field, not modelled here.
• The Firm Name Registration Application pre-clearance step (see Document 3 above).
• The modern e-register.am online submission wizard itself, which is Radware bot-challenge-gated on every page this cycle attempted to fetch, including its own root domain.
• The director's fixed 25%-of-net-assets self-dealing authority threshold, printed directly in the Charter template's own prose (not a blank) — background context, not a collected field.

Conformance fixtures

8 fixtures are committed under conformance/am/moj/state-registration-limited-liability-company/1.0.0/: 2 valid submissions (0 errors each — one minimal-required-fields-only founder, one with all optional foreign-language name variants and the optional social card number populated) and 6 mutation-control fixtures (each expected to raise exactly 1 error): a missing required companyNameArmenianFull, a missing required founderIdentityDocumentData, an invalid founderPublicServicesNumber pattern (wrong digit count), an invalid directorEmail pattern, a missing required decisionNumber, and a missing required directorEmploymentContractTermYears. All 8 were checked with a from-scratch, throwaway Node mock validator implementing this schema's own required/validation rules (not committed — consistent with this registry's established per-cycle practice of writing an independent validator rather than reusing the authoring script). Both tools/validate.mjs and tools/validate-ajv.mjs pass at 510/510 across the full registry with this schema added.

Known gaps

• Armenia's remaining verticals — DMV, Passport, Taxes, and National ID — are confirmed dead ends this cycle (see "Why this candidate" above), consistent with the equivalent dead-end findings the GOV-3343/GOV-3321 cycles recorded for Georgia's DMV and Passport verticals. Armenia now stands at 2 of 6 verticals (Visa, Business Formation).
• The multi-founder LLC path (Founders' Meeting Protocol) is a disclosed, open backlog candidate for a future minor-version cycle — see "Scope and disclosed boundaries" above.

Verification method assessment

manual-source-review-v1 — a human/agent read the primary sources directly and transcribed their fields. No automated re-verification tooling exists yet for this schema; nextReviewBy is set 6 months out per the practice's default cadence.
