The efforts of the current state leadership to offer available, fast and transparent public services to citizens all across the country are advancing. 

Today Minister of Justice of Georgia Thea Tsulukiani opened the 15th Justice House in Georgia’s eastern mountainous Tianeti region, located about 75km from capital Tbilisi. 

From today locals will be able to receive more than 400 public services in their home town, from issuing identification cards to wedding documents and more. Until now the community was forced to go to Tbilisi or other larger towns to access vital public services.

The new Justice House, like other branches, offered fast, transparent and cost-effective public services, said the Minister. 

Prior to opening of the Tianeti Justice House we opened a Justice House in Zugdidi, western Georgia, very close to so-called Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) with de facto Abkhazia.

Then [we opened another Justice House] in the western seaside town of Poti. Now our services have become available for Tianeti residents,” Tsulukiani said. 

Looking ahead the Ministry planned to open five more Justice Houses in Kazbegi, Borjomi, Lagodekhi, Akhalkalaki and Mtskheta.

Currently, Justice Houses, otherwise called Public Service Halls, operate in in almost every major city of Georgia that collectively provided services to more than 23,000 citizens per day.
