In this article, the specific features of the civil‑law status of the subsoil‑use right, as an object of civil rights, are examined.

In light of domestic and foreign legislative frameworks, the institution governing the transfer of the subsoil‑use right is subjected to a comprehensive study and analysis, and the gaps and problem areas in the national regulation of that institution are identified.

As a result of the conducted analysis, the author, among other things, proposes to clarify at the legislative level the civil‑law consequences of violating the requirements applicable to transactions involving the transfer of subsoil use rights; to introduce provisions in the legislation governing the alienation of the subsoil‑use right as a single property complex; and to establish, within the Subsoil Code of the Republic of Armenia, mechanisms for the state supervised disposal (alienation) of shares and participatory interests of subsoil users in cases prescribed by law.
