Divorce in Georgia

Sometimes the final stage of married life is divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a legal process, just like its registration. To obtain a divorce certificate in Georgia, a number of specific requirements must be met. The professionals at Violet Weddings will help you obtain the original or a duplicate of the document even without leaving your country of residence. We will prepare all the necessary paperwork, handle the bureaucratic procedures, and provide a divorce certificate with proper legalization.

This document confirms the official termination of marital relations between a husband and a wife. It is issued by the Public Service Halls in two copies. The document contains information about the first and last names of the former spouses (patronymics are not indicated). It specifies the date and place of divorce, as well as the number of the divorce record entry. The certificate is used for various legal purposes that require confirmation of marital status. Georgia is a country where a divorce certificate does not bear a wet stamp or a handwritten signature—only a digital one. If necessary, we can supplement the document with the stamps required in your home country.

Difference Between the Original Divorce Certificate and Its Duplicate

When a couple divorces, each of the former spouses receives an original document. If it is accidentally lost or damaged, a duplicate is issued with the same legal force. The duplicate indicates that the document has been reissued and specifies the date of reissuance. The main information is identical to that of the original.

How to Obtain a Divorce Certificate or Issue a Duplicate

To receive the documents, you must contact the staff of the Public Service Hall where the marriage was registered.

Procedure:

• prepare the passports of the husband and wife, as well as the marriage certificate (a notarized translation into Georgian is required);

• submit an application for divorce;

• wait for a notification from the institution confirming that the certificate is ready;

• receive the document (each spouse receives their own copy);

• obtain an apostille or consular legalization for your country.

A duplicate certificate is obtained following the same procedure. If you are in another country and delegate the document retrieval to us, you need to issue a power of attorney for a representative of our agency. We will handle everything ourselves.
