Translation Bureau in Tsnori

Tsnori is the trading and transport hub of the Alazani valley - the railway, the bus station, the market and dozens of villages that treat Tsnori as the centre of their daily business. Most families here have one or more members abroad, and that is the link TARGMANEBI serves in Tsnori: translation of powers of attorney, invitations, pension and family documents with notarization and apostille, with orders possible both from Tsnori and directly from abroad.

A translation bureau for Tsnori - TARGMANEBI's service for a small town where two generations live in two countries at the same time. In Tsnori and the villages around it - Anaga, Vakiri, Bodbiskhevi, Magharo - it is often the parents who stay while the children work in Italy, Germany, Greece and Poland. These families are held together by a constant flow of documents, and that flow is translated in both directions.

Our service in Tsnori rests on three things. First, any family member can place the order: a parent from Tsnori, a daughter from Milan, a brother from Tbilisi. Second, for a parent who finds it hard to send a photo by phone, the courier photographs the document on the spot or collects it. Third, the finished translation goes to the country where it is needed: electronically abroad, and the original in Tsnori or by international post.

Power of attorney, consent and renunciation - documents that run a family at a distance

When a son or daughter is abroad, the parent has to do a lot in Georgia in their name: sell land, take out a loan, collect a pension, enrol a grandchild in school, represent them in court. For this a power of attorney is drawn up abroad, at a local notary or a Georgian consulate - and in Georgia it is accepted with a Georgian notarized translation and often an apostille. In the other direction, a parent gives consent for a child to travel abroad or renounces an inheritance - and these documents are translated for the foreign authority.

From abroad to Tsnori

  • Power of attorney for property, bank or court matters
  • Renunciation of inheritance or consent to a sale
  • Foreign marriage certificate and a child's birth certificate
  • Employment contract and income certificate for the bank
  • A foreign court decision

From Tsnori abroad

  • Consent for a child to travel abroad
  • Certificate of marital status for a marriage
  • Birth certificate for family reunification
  • Criminal record certificate and medical certificate
  • Invitation documents for a parent's visa

For both sides together

  • The full package for an inheritance case
  • Property division agreement
  • Child support and guardianship documents
  • Medical reports on the need for care
  • Bank and pension certificates

The key point in translating a foreign power of attorney is that the powers come across exactly, in legally correct terms. "Sell" and "manage" are different rights; if the translation records this vaguely, a Georgian notary will not accept the power of attorney for the transaction and the document will have to be drawn up again abroad. That is why powers of attorney are translated by a legal translator.

Invitation and visa - when a parent visits their child

A common plan for parents in Tsnori is to visit a son or daughter in Europe. The embassy asks for a package of documents, part of which comes from the child - the invitation letter, residence card, income certificate, rental agreement - and part of which is the parent's Georgian papers: bank statement, pension certificate, property extract, a certificate proving the family relationship. Both parts have to be prepared in the embassy's language, in one style and with one transliteration. Since such a package is often sent from two countries at once, one manager puts the order together and gives both sides the same information.

The most common mistake in a visa package is names spelled differently: one way in the parent's passport, another in the child's invitation. When you order, send us photos of both passports and we will use the same spelling in every document.

Pensions, social matters and old documents

A large part of the older generation's documents in Tsnori date from the Soviet period - a Russian-language employment record book, a diploma, an award certificate, a military ID. The Pension Agency and social services need them with a Georgian notarized translation. Handwritten entries, faded stamps and names recorded in two forms are routine here; so we first study such a paper in detail, work out how legible the text is, and only then agree the cost and the timing. What we cannot read is left in the translation as a blank with a note - nothing is written into an official document on the basis of a guess.

Medical documents for care and family reunification

When a parent who stayed in Tsnori needs care, the child abroad has a choice: come back, or take the parent to live with them. Both routes come with medical documents. For family reunification and care visas, European authorities ask for a doctor's report on the need for care, the diagnosis and treatment history, and a certificate of disability or limited capacity - all in the embassy's language, with notarization. In the other direction, the foreign discharge summary and prescriptions of a parent treated abroad are translated into Georgian for a doctor in Tsnori or Sighnaghi, so that treatment at home continues on the same plan.

Medical material is handled by a translator skilled in medicine; diagnosis codes, international drug names and doses are checked separately against the source. These documents are confidential - only the translator and the manager working on the order see them, and the electronic version is sent only to the address you specify, even if it is your daughter's email in Italy.

Languages in orders from Tsnori

Because of the family focus, the leading languages in Tsnori are Italian, Greek, German and Polish - these are the countries where most people from Tsnori work. English is the universal language for embassies and contracts, Russian for old documents and relatives in Russia. Spanish, French, Turkish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch and Czech are available on request.

How an order works when the family is in two countries

1

Whoever is closest sends it

The photo of the document is sent by whoever has it to hand - a parent in Tsnori or a son or daughter abroad. By WhatsApp or by email to info@targmanebi.ge. If the parent finds it hard to take a photo, the courier will help on the spot.

2

One manager for both sides

The price, deadline and form of certification are confirmed by one responsible manager, who gives both sides the same information - so there is no confusion.

3

Translation, notarization, apostille

The translation is prepared and checked; notarization and the apostille are done in Tbilisi. Only the apostille needs the original - the courier collects it from Tsnori.

4

Delivery where it is needed

The electronic version - abroad or in Tsnori, as soon as it is finished. The original - by courier to Tsnori, at the Tbilisi office or, by arrangement, by international post abroad.

Payment is possible from either side too: from Tsnori or from abroad, by bank transfer. The invoice is issued in the name of whoever pays, which is especially convenient when a son or daughter orders a parent's documents from abroad.

Price guidance for Tsnori families

Most family documents are one or two pages and fall into the simplest price category; the price is by agreement and depends mainly on the language and the extra procedures - notarization, apostille, courier, international post. A power of attorney and a court decision are in the legal category and cost more per page than a certificate. An old handwritten document needs a separate assessment. In every case we tell you the final amount as soon as we see the document, before work starts, and it does not change afterwards. If an inaccuracy on our side turns up, the correction is free.

A parent in Tsnori, a son or daughter in Europe, and a document that both of them need? Send us a photo from whichever country you are in - one manager will sort out the rest for both sides.

Frequently asked questions - translation in Tsnori

I am in Italy and need to get a power of attorney to my mother in Tsnori. Where do I start?

First have the power of attorney drawn up at an Italian notary or at the Georgian consulate, get it apostilled (if a notary drew it up) and send the original to your mother. Send the photo straight to us - we will prepare the translation in the meantime, so that as soon as the original arrives we can have it notarized and hand it to your mother in Tsnori.

My mother cannot send a photo by phone. What can we do?

There are two ways: a neighbour or relative photographs it and sends it, or the courier looks at the document on the spot and photographs it on an agreed day. If we need the original anyway, the courier collects it and brings it back.

For a parent's visa, do the child's foreign documents need translating into Georgian?

No - for the embassy they stay in the embassy's language. Only what is submitted to a Georgian authority is translated into Georgian. What gets translated into the embassy's language is the parent's Georgian papers: bank statement, pension certificate, property extract, certificate of relationship.

How long does a consent for a child to travel abroad take?

The consent is drawn up at a notary and its translation is notarized - one to two working days in total; if an apostille is needed, the timing is confirmed by document type. The child's name must be spelled the same way in the consent, the passport and the birth certificate, so send us photos of all three.

How does the certified translation reach my son abroad?

The electronic version reaches him as soon as it is finished. If the authority there needs the original, we send it by international post or a courier service - cost and timing are agreed before ordering. It is often simpler for the parent in Tsnori to receive the original and hand it over when the son visits.

Does a Soviet employment record book need translating in full for a pension?

The Pension Agency usually asks for every filled-in page, while blank pages are not translated. Because of the handwritten entries, the price depends on the number of pages and how legible they are; we tell you the exact amount after seeing photos of every page of the book.
