Documents
for marriage registration in Georgia
IF FIRST MARRIAGE
To get married in Georgia (if this is your first marriage and you have no common children), you just need your international passports (just to take into account the requirements for document translation). You do not need to provide a certificate that you have not been married before (except in certain cases).
If you have a common child (not a child from a previous marriage, but your biological child together), then when submitting the application you will need to provide a birth certificate of the child, where both father and mother will be recorded. This information will be entered in the Georgian registry (not in the marriage certificate). This is a mandatory requirement.
IF SOMEONE IS DIVORCE
If one of the newlyweds (or both) is divorced, then you need to provide a divorce certificate, or a court decree of divorce, or a certificate of marital status, which will indicate the status - "divorced". The requirements for a divorce document depend on the country where the document was issued. If it is a certificate of marital status, then it has a validity period. The documents must be originals with seals (not copies).
IF SOMEONE IS A WIDOW/WIDOWER
If one of the spouses is a widow/widower, you will need to provide the originals of two documents: a marriage certificate and a death certificate. Please note that the surnames and first names are the same in both documents.
All documents that you prepare for marriage registration must be legal in Georgia. Documents must be translated into Georgian and notarized. It is very important to correctly translate documents into Georgian. If a mistake is made, the documents will not be accepted, but it is even worse if they accept them with an error and incorrectly write your name, surname or date of birth. Then, after receiving a marriage certificate in Georgian, you will not be able to make a quality translation into your native language. You will have to apply for changes to the registry and re-receive the marriage certificate. This is a long process and is not a matter of one day.
