Public Service Hall Opens in Samtredia

Access to public and private sector services continues to grow in Georgia. A new branch of the Public Service Hall has been inaugurated in Samtredia, offering up to 500 services to the local population in a modern and comfortable setting. Couples looking to marry can plan a formal ceremony in a specially designed ritual space.

The Samtredia Public Service Hall was officially opened by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze, and State Trustee in the Imereti region Zviad Shalamberidze. This new branch is fully accessible to persons with disabilities and has created employment for about 20 local residents.

Expanding access to state services is a key priority for the Ministry of Justice, which currently operates 119 Public Service Halls across Georgia. For citizens residing far from regional centers, the innovative Mobile Public Service Hall project provides essential services. In the Imereti region alone, 24 Public Service Halls are operational, with the Mobile Public Service Hall serving an additional 15 villages.

This year, the reach of the Public Service Hall network will be further expanded with new branches set to open in Chala, Zoti, Tolebi, Tsaishi, and Shrosha. Additional branches will also open in Tbilisi (Gldani) and Batumi. Construction is underway for new facilities in Khashuri, Terjola, Akhmeta, Mtskheta, Sagarejo, and Khelvachauri municipalities.

The opening ceremony for the Samtredia Public Service Hall was attended by the Deputy Minister of Justice, local government heads, and other invited guests.
