[Frequently Asked Questions]
Your Questions Answered
Here, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about the marriage registration process in Georgia. If you can’t find the answer to your question, please contact us for a consultation
General Registration Questions
Yes, we will help you select and book a convenient date based on availability at the registration offices.
The length of your stay in Georgia depends on the service package you choose, but the minimum possible time is one business day.
- For the "Registration at the Public Service Hall" package: Your personal presence is required for one business day. Both the application and the registration itself take place on this day.
- For the "Formal Ceremony at the Palace" package: You will need two days (which can be weekend days)—one day to submit the application and a second day for the ceremony.
The ceremony is conducted in Georgian. Our coordinator will be present with you and will act as your interpreter.
Yes, the "Official Registration at the Public Service Hall" package is designed for this purpose
Yes, you can declare a name change when you submit your application. Our coordinator will bring this to your attention
A visa-free regime is in place for citizens of most countries (including the EU, Israel, UAE, and CIS countries). You can check the latest information on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia: mfa.gov.ge
Documents and Legalization
The primary document required is a valid international passport for both spouses. In some cases, if either spouse has been previously married, a notarized translation of the document of dissolution of the previous marriage may be required
Yes, the presence of two adult witnesses is mandatory. We provide our own witnesses as part of the service.
If you wish to invite your own witnesses and they are foreign citizens, we will also prepare the necessary notarized translations of their passports. Please note that we do not accept translations made by third-party organizations, as we are centrally responsible for the correctness of the entire document package

The marriage certificate is issued in Georgian. To be used in another country, it must be translated and legalized
Yes, with an Apostille or consular legalization, the marriage is recognized in most countries worldwide. In rare cases where your country’s family law differs significantly from Georgia’s, a consultation with a lawyer in your place of residence may be advisable
You will need to obtain a duplicate of the marriage certificate and have it legalized for the second country. This is an additional service with a separate fee
Apostille and Consular Legalization
Is the procedure for legalizing documents for countries party to the 1961 Hague Convention. You can check if your country is on the list on the official page of the convention. Arranging for the Apostille is included in all our packages, with processing times of 2, 4, or 8 business days to choose from
Is the procedure for countries not part of the convention (e.g., UAE, Qatar). This is a more complex, multi-step process that we also coordinate. Details regarding specific consulates can be clarified during a consultation
What If Complications Arise? Our Approach in Action
For our German couple, a document discrepancy arose right before the registration due to the bride’s recent name change. We promptly contacted the German Embassy, obtained the necessary confirmation, and successfully completed the registration that same day, allowing the couple to proceed with their travel plans without changes
Our team member spotted an error made by the registration office on a certificate for a couple from Poland. Without alarming the clients, we independently returned the document for correction and covered the cost of an urgent reprint of the new certificate with an Apostille, all within the agreed timeframe
A couple from Israel had to fly home urgently right after their ceremony. We handled all subsequent steps: we collected the completed certificate, had it legalized, and safely shipped it to them via an international courier service
Process and Services
The process includes four main steps:
- Preparing notarized translations of your passports.
- Submitting the application at the registration office in your presence.
- Receiving the marriage certificate in Georgian.
- Legalizing the certificate (Apostille or Consular) and translating it for your country
Yes. We offer service packages that already include vetted specialists. If you choose a package without these services, you are free to find your own vendors, but in that case, we are not responsible for their work. We can also source specialists for you based on a custom request for an agency fee
Cost and Payment
We work under a formal agreement. To book a date and begin work on your documents, a deposit of 30% of the contract amount is required. The remaining balance is paid on the day of the marriage registration. For full-service weddings, payment terms are discussed individually
