Administrative bodies shall be guided by presumption of reliability when administering.
“Presumption of reliability provides that data, information presented by the individual on the factual circumstances considered by the administrative body shall be deemed to be reliable in any case until an administrative body has not proved the opposite. That is the person does not bear responsibility to prove the reliability of the document submitted to the administrative body. At the same time he/she must know that individuals shall bear responsibility for presenting false data or information to administrative bodies,” advocate Arpine Yeghikyan told to Iravaban.net.

The administrative bodies shall be prohibited to require from individuals documents or other additional data confirming the data, information presented by them, if such requirement is not prescribed by law.

If the administrative body has reasonable doubts as to the authenticity of the data, information presented by individuals, it shall be obliged to take measures for ascertaining their authenticity independently and at its own expense.
