From passport translations to international Apostille & Legalization. We handle the bureaucracy from start to finish, so you can focus on your wedding.
Last reviewed 21 October 2026 against the Law of Georgia on Civil Status Acts and the Public Service Development Agency rules.
Most couples who marry in Georgia lose time in the same places: a document translated but not apostilled, a witness without the right papers, a registrar asking questions in Georgian. We plan around all of them before you book your flights.
Send scans of your passports and any divorce or death certificates on WhatsApp or by email. We audit every document, tell you what is missing, then translate and notarize the set into Georgian.
Our certified interpreter meets you at the Public Service Hall, the Wedding House or your venue, interprets the application and the registrar's questions, and checks your names on the record before you sign.
We translate your Georgian marriage certificate into your language and arrange the apostille, or consular legalization where your country requires it, so the marriage can be registered at home.
Marriages in Georgia are registered by the Public Service Development Agency at a Public Service Hall, at one of its territorial offices or at a Wedding House, and by law at the place the couple chooses. The rules are short, but every one of them is checked at the desk.

Our document audit catches each of these before you travel. See also our marriage certificate translation guide.
Choose single services or let us run the whole file. Every translation is done by a certified translator and, where an authority needs it, notarized by a Georgian notary.
Notarized Georgian translation of both passports, with names transliterated exactly as they will appear on the marriage record. See passport translation.
When your witnesses are foreign citizens, their passports are translated and notarized in the same set, so their names match on the day. See witnesses for a wedding in Georgia.
Proof that a previous marriage has ended, checked for its apostille or legalization and translated into Georgian with notarization. See divorce decree translation.
Georgia does not ask for one, but some home countries do, before the wedding or for registration afterwards. We translate it with its apostille when you need it. Read do you need a certificate of no impediment?
Send scans before you book anything. We check validity, apostilles, spelling and the order of steps, and send you a written list of what is ready and what is missing. Start with our document checklist.
The wedding itself cannot be done by proxy, but a power of attorney lets us collect the apostille and duplicates after you fly home. See power of attorney translation.
A bilingual marriage contract in Georgian and your language, translated precisely and signed before a Georgian notary, before or after the registration. See marriage contract in Georgia.
Interpreting at the Public Service Hall, the Wedding House or your chosen venue, in English, Russian, Arabic and many other languages. See interpreter for the marriage registration.
Two adult witnesses with Georgian identity documents, who meet you at the registration. Ideal for couples who elope alone. See wedding witnesses.
The law lets you marry at the place you choose: a hotel, a winery or in the mountains. We prepare the application for the agency's ceremony service and coordinate the date with the registrar. See registration at your venue.
A bilingual host for the symbolic part of your celebration, alongside the legal registration conducted by the agency's registrar.
Your Georgian certificate translated into your language and notarized, ready the same or the next day. Read the full marriage certificate translation guide.
We apply for the apostille at the Public Service Development Agency, the Ministry of Justice body that issues it, and collect it for you. See apostille on a Georgian marriage certificate.
For countries outside the Apostille Convention, such as the UAE and Qatar, we handle the legalization chain. China now accepts an apostille, so no consular step is needed there. See legalization for the UAE and Qatar.
When each spouse registers the marriage in a different country, we prepare two sets in two languages from one review, with identical name spellings.
We prepare the translated, apostilled set your embassy or home registry asks for and walk you through how to file it.
A private car from the airport or your hotel to the registration, with a coordinator who stays with you until the certificate is in your hands.
Your apostilled certificate and translations couriered to any country, tracked from Tbilisi to your door.
A professional photographer for a one-hour session at the registration and in the old town afterwards.
A bouquet and a bottle of champagne waiting for you after the registration, arranged in advance.
Every package starts with the same document audit, and you can add any single service from the catalog above.
For simple applications where you only need your documents ready.
For couples who do not speak Georgian and want a smooth ceremony day.
For couples who need the marriage recognized in their home country.
Fly in, get married, fly home. We take care of everything else.
Our own translations are ready the same or the next day. Apostille and legalization follow the issuing authority's timeline, which we build into your schedule from the start.
Georgia attracts couples from Israel, India, Iran, Lebanon, the Gulf, Russia and Europe because a civil marriage can be registered here without residence and without long waiting periods. The legal part is a short administrative procedure. What decides whether it runs smoothly is the paperwork you bring and the order in which it is prepared.
Anything issued abroad, other than your passport, needs an apostille or a consular legalization from the country that issued it. That step cannot be done in Tbilisi. If one of you is divorced, the divorce decree is the document to check first: without its apostille, the registration cannot go ahead. This is why our online audit comes before anything else. You send scans, and by the same or the next day you know which papers are complete and which must be finished before you travel. Our document checklist lists every item.
A Georgian marriage record copies your names from the documents you present. If the passport translation, the divorce decree translation and the witness documents spell a name in three different ways, the registrar will stop and ask why. We fix the spelling of every name at the start and use it in every document, including the later translation of your marriage certificate, so the record and its translation always match.
The procedure is conducted in Georgian. If neither of you speaks the language, an interpreter makes sure you understand the application and the record before you sign. Our interpreters attend registrations regularly, know the questions the registrar asks, and check the printed details with you before your signatures go on the record. Many couples register and receive their certificate on the same day, but we always recommend keeping a spare day in your travel plan.
Your marriage certificate is issued in Georgian. To register the marriage in your home country, you will usually need an apostille on the certificate and a translation into your language. Countries outside the Apostille Convention, such as the UAE and Qatar, require consular legalization instead. Some countries also want the translation made by their own sworn translator. Tell us your country at the audit stage and we will plan the right format, so you do not find out about an extra requirement at your registry office back home.
The Public Service Development Agency issues the apostille on the 8th working day as standard, with faster terms down to the same day. If your flight leaves first, a power of attorney signed before a Georgian notary lets us collect the apostille and any duplicates for you and courier the full set to your address.
Short answers to the questions we hear most. For anything specific to your nationality, send us your documents for an audit.
Yes. Neither of you needs to be a Georgian citizen or resident. You must both be at least 18, not already married and not closely related, and each of you must show that you are in Georgia lawfully, for example with the entry stamp in your passport, a visa or a residence permit. Georgian law registers marriage only as a union of a man and a woman.
A joint application, which is filled in at the registration, valid passports for both of you and both witnesses, proof of lawful stay in Georgia and, if either of you was married before, the divorce decree or the death certificate of the former spouse. Foreign documents other than passports must be apostilled or legalized and come with a notarized Georgian translation. The agency may accept a passport without translation when it carries the personal data in Latin letters; we usually prepare a notarized Georgian translation anyway, so the desk has nothing to query.
Georgia's civil registry does not list one: you declare in the joint application that there is no bar to your marriage. Your own country may still ask for one, either before you travel or when you register the marriage at home, so check with your registry office or embassy. If you bring one, we translate it into Georgian together with its apostille.
Yes. At least two adult witnesses with legal capacity must attend the registration and present their identity documents. If they are foreign citizens, their passports are handled in the same way as yours. If you travel alone, we can provide two witnesses.
If neither of you speaks Georgian, yes in practice. The civil registry keeps its records in Georgian, the application and the certificate are in Georgian, and the registrar must be sure that you both consent to the marriage. Our certified interpreter accompanies you to the Public Service Hall, the Wedding House or your venue.
No. Under Article 52 of the Law on Civil Status Acts, the application can be filed through a representative, but the registration itself cannot: both of you must be present. A power of attorney is still useful after the wedding, because it lets us collect the apostille or extra duplicates once you have flown home.
The apostille is issued by the Public Service Development Agency, which you apply to through the Public Service Hall. Under the agency's own terms it is ready on the 8th working day as standard, or on the 4th working day, the 2nd working day or the same day on faster terms. Our own translation of the certificate is ready the same or the next day.
A civil marriage registered in Georgia is generally accepted abroad once the certificate carries an apostille, or consular legalization for countries that are not party to the Apostille Convention, such as the UAE and Qatar. China has accepted apostilles since 7 November 2023. Each country has its own registration rules, and some ask for a translation by their own sworn translator, so we check your country's requirements before we translate.
Yes. Planners and agencies hand us the paperwork for their couples under a partner agreement, with one contact person, agreed partner terms and a shared timeline for every wedding.
You design the wedding, we make it legal. Planners in Georgia and abroad use us as their back office for every document and every registration.
