Legal Aspects and Recognition of Marriage in Russia
According to Georgian law, marriage registration is not available to all foreign couples. Minors (under 18), legally incapacitated individuals, and persons staying illegally in the country cannot get married. Marriage is also prohibited if the partners are blood relatives. Adoptive parents and adopted children, as well as individuals who are already officially married, are also not allowed to legalize family relationships.
In Russia, a marriage certificate issued by the Georgian Ministry of Justice is recognized without an apostille. Both countries are parties to the Minsk Convention, which removes the requirement for document legalization. It is sufficient to translate the certificate from Georgian into Russian. A notary’s stamp and signature will confirm the accuracy of the translation.
To legalize a marriage at Georgian Ministry of Justice institutions, Russian citizens must follow a specific procedure.
How Official Marriage Registration for Russian Citizens Takes Place
- prepare the required documents;
- submit an application for official registration (non-ceremonial, ceremonial, or off-site);
- receive approval of the application with the date and time of the ceremony;
- attend the signing with two witnesses;
- receive a certificate confirming the legality of the marriage.

Documents Required for Marriage Registration in Georgia
To officially legalize their relationship, Russian citizens only need their international passports. Each passport must be translated into Georgian and notarized. If additional documents are required (death certificate of a spouse, divorce certificate, birth certificate of a shared minor child), they are processed in the same way. The passports of the two witnesses must also be translated and notarized. Georgian citizens are not required to undergo this procedure. We will provide full legal support for your marriage, including document preparation and processing of your marriage certificate.
