Documents required for marriage registration in Georgia

To officially register a marriage, your passports must first be translated into Georgian. A notary will certify their authenticity with a seal and stamp. If either or both of the newlyweds were previously married, documents confirming the divorce or the death of a spouse are required. These documents must also be translated and notarized.

For two invited witnesses who are not Georgian citizens, the documents are prepared in the same way. To save time and effort on bureaucratic procedures, you can delegate this to our agency. We will legally prepare all necessary documentation. If you do not have witnesses, we can provide them on the date you choose.

Legalization and recognition of a Georgian marriage certificate abroad

Other countries’ authorities recognize documents issued in Georgia. To give them legal effect in the country of residence of the newlyweds, the documents must be legalized. A Georgian marriage certificate is valid only within Georgia. It must be translated into the language of your home country and either receive an international apostille stamp or undergo consular legalization. Requirements vary depending on the agreements between countries. While you are celebrating the beginning of your new family, we will take care of legalizing your marriage certificate. Our specialists work efficiently, so you will quickly receive your prepared documents.
