Wedding for Israelis in Georgia

Getting married in Georgia is an excellent option for Israelis. It is close to your home country or any European state, offers visa-free entry, features breathtaking wedding locations, and involves minimal bureaucracy. Lotus Wedding Agency provides “turnkey” wedding organization. We handle all the paperwork, registration, Apostille, and translation required for Israel.

Why Israelis choose to marry in Georgia

Many Israeli citizens live and work in Europe, making it easy to fly to Georgia for just a few days. No visa is required for entry, and Israeli citizens can stay in Georgia for up to 12 months.

• Minimal documentation: only basic paperwork is required.
• Recognized in Israel: legalized marriage certificates are accepted by the Israeli Ministry of Interior (Misrad HaPnim).
• Speed: fast processing of documents for the marriage application.
• One-day registration: the possibility of completing the legal registration in just one day.
• Cost-effective: wedding packages are much more affordable than other destinations, starting from $300-$450.
• Religious tolerance: jewish weddings can be held with traditional ceremonies and kosher banquets.

We follow a proven step-by-step algorithm for Israeli couples:

1. Consultation & format selection: decide whether you need only the official civil registration or a full symbolic/religious ceremony and banquet.
2. Document preparation: you provide color scans of your passports and a Power of Attorney (PoA) for the organizer. If necessary, documents from Israel must be Apostilled.
3. Filing the application: we file the application with the Public Service Hall or Wedding Palace in advance via PoA, so your visit can be short.
4. Official ceremony: the couple and two witnesses must be physically present. We can provide witnesses if needed. For Israelis living in the EU, we can plan a 2-3 day trip around a confirmed registration date.
5. Legalization: to be recognized in Israel, the certificate must be Apostilled and translated into Hebrew or English (taking 1 to 8 business days).
6. Delivery: receive your documents in person or via registered mail to your address in Israel, Poland, or any other country.

Israelis do not need to collect excessive certificates. You only need:

• Valid international passports.
• Divorce decrees or death certificates from previous marriages (Apostilled and translated).
• Power of Attorney for the organizer (Apostilled in Israel) if filing remotely.
• Notarized translations of witnesses’ passports (if they are not Georgian citizens).

Note: Requirements can change, so we always double-check the latest Misrad HaPnim regulations for you.
