Official marriage registration abroad is a bold and beautiful milestone. However, for your certificate to become a legally binding document in Saudi Arabia, Europe, or any other corner of the globe, a simple “I do” at the registry office isn’t enough. You need an apostille – the legal key that opens international borders for your family. At Kate&Co Weddings agency, we handle all the paperwork for you. While you celebrate and soak in the first days of your honeymoon, we guarantee that your marriage will be recognized in your home country with zero complications or extra questions.
Understanding the apostille
An apostille is the official mechanism for the international recognition of documents among member states of the Hague Convention. Without it, a marriage certificate issued in Georgia may lack legal standing outside the country. Essentially, apostille certification authenticates the signature and seal of the issuing government authority, rendering the document legitimate for use in other nations. For international couples, this means one thing: without a properly executed apostille, your marriage may not be recognized in the country where you plan to live, work, or establish family rights. An apostilled document holds full legal weight and is officially recognized by both governmental and private institutions abroad. Such a document is accepted without the need for additional verification or complex legalization procedures, saving you time, stress, and the risk of rejection. This is why precision, strict adherence to deadlines, and a deep understanding of local procedures are paramount. Our agency views the apostille not merely as a technical service, but as the final, critical step that guarantees your Georgian wedding holds full legal power on an international scale.

Does everyone need to get an apostille on a marriage certificate issued in Georgia?
Yes, a Georgian apostille stamp is essential if you want your marriage certificate to be recognized abroad in Hague Convention member states – including the USA, Canada, the UK, the Philippines, Germany, France, Italy, India, Spain, and over 120 other countries. The apostille ensures your document is legally valid and accepted without unnecessary bureaucracy. However, if you reside in a country that is not a member of the convention (such as the UAE, Qatar, Lebanon, or Egypt), you will require consular legalization through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy. But there’s no need to worry – we are here to guide you through this process as well. Get in touch with us, and we will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the consular legalization process and its timelines.
