Marriage registration in Georgia

Georgia recently became one of the top five countries where marriage registration does not require a lot of documents from various institutions. Now we will tell you how easy, simple and fast is the procedure to become husband and wife in Georgia, while having some time to enjoy the sights of the Georgian capital. So, let’s begin!

A marriage concluded in Georgia is recognized in all countries of the world: in the CIS (according to a simplified scheme, only notary translation is required), in all countries – you’ll need legalization or apostille, which we will make for you in very short time.

Like in many countries, marriage registration is regulated by laws in Georgia as followed:

- If you want to get married to your loved one, both of you should be at least 18 years old.
- Fees associated with the licenses are different if you are single, married or divorced
- Fees are also charged to get a certified copy of your marriage certificate
- If one of the persons is divorced, then he or she has to show proper documents and divorce decree.

-       Identity documents of persons intending to get married, translated to Georgian Language and Notarized;

-       If you have been married before, a valid apostilled, original copy or the divorce certificate;

-       Joint written application of persons intending to get married;

-       In case of a person’s second marriage, a document certifying the termination of previous marriage, legalized and apostilled;

-       Witnesses, if foreigners – their Identification Documents, with duly notarized Georgian translation;

-       Foreign citizens must submit a document evidencing the legal ground of his/her stay in Georgia;

-       If an application is submitted by a representative of a person intending to get married, documents certifying power of representation and identity of representative;

Registration in the hall of the House of Justice looks like this: you need to come in the morning, stand in a queue, submit an application to an operator, wait from two to four hours until your wedding planner receives an official message on a mobile phone that the documents have been checked, confirmed and you are given permission to register your marriage. At this time we usually let our couple go for a walk in the centre of the city. Then you should stand again in a queue and finally register the marriage with the help of the operator.

The whole procedure takes 50-60 minutes, and you are absolutely free afterwards.

To make this happen, you will have to translate it, register it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and validate it at your embassy.
