Required documents and conditions for marriage

For couples from Russia and Belarus, officially registering a marriage in Georgia is a straightforward process – all you need is a valid international passport. If one of the partners has been previously married, a divorce certificate or a spouse’s death certificate will also be required. These documents must be translated into Georgian and notarized. The entire process takes place at the House of Justice, where you submit your application, complete the official procedure, and receive your marriage certificate.

It should be noted that in order to get married, Russians, Belarusians, Armenians, and citizens of other countries must:

• Be of legal age – 18 years old.
• Be legally competent.
• Not be married to another person at the time of registration.
• Have no close blood relation with the future spouse.

Marriage registration in Georgia can truly be simple and fast – especially when you have a team of professionals guiding you through every step. We know how to handle all the formalities, so you can focus on enjoying your celebration instead of dealing with bureaucracy.
