Starting January 2027, residents of Armenia will be able to access a number of social programs on the id.e-social.am platform only after authorization through the national identification system “YesEm”. This was reported by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the republic. The change will affect several areas of state support, including care services, housing programs for families displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh, assessment of vulnerability levels, and assistance to individuals with bad loans.
The list also includes the assessment of individual functional capacities and the processing of temporary disability benefits. Once the new rules come into force, the usual login using a public services number and password will become unavailable. Therefore, the ministry recommends checking in advance the possibility of authorization via YesEm and activating a suitable method of identity verification.
You can log into the system on the id.e-social.am website by selecting “Log in via YesEm”. The user will be prompted to identify themselves using an ID card or a mobile identity card. In the second case, it will be necessary to specify a phone number and confirm the login with a PIN code on the device. To do this, the Mobile ID service must first be activated with your mobile operator. After identity verification, the user will be able to return to their personal account on the social platform.
