Wedding planning in Georgia for couples from Pakistan

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Pakistani citizens legally get married in Georgia?

Yes. Pakistani citizens can legally and officially register their marriage in Georgia. Under Georgian civil law, foreign nationals have the same right to marry as Georgian citizens. A marriage registered at the Georgian Public Service Hall is legally valid and widely recognized internationally, including in Pakistan, the UAE, and EU countries.

What documents do Pakistani citizens need to get married in Georgia?

In most cases, Pakistani citizens only need to provide valid passports for both partners. If either partner has been married before, a divorce decree or the death certificate of the former spouse must also be submitted in accordance with international documentation requirements. When necessary, all foreign documents must be translated into Georgian and notarized before submission. In certain situations – such as when documents have been issued in different countries – additional supporting documents may be required. For this reason, it is always best to confirm the exact list of required documents with the specialists at Kate&Co Weddings.

Do Pakistani couples need a Georgian residence permit to marry?

No. Pakistani citizens do not need a Georgian residence permit or residency status to get married in Georgia. You can travel to Georgia as a visitor and legally register your marriage. Visa-free entry for up to 90 days is available if you hold a valid visa or residence permit issued by:

• Gulf countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Oman)
• The United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, or any Schengen country.

Pakistani couples living in the UAE or other GCC countries can travel to Georgia using their valid residence permits, complete the marriage registration within 1–2 business days, and return home immediately afterward.

How quickly can Pakistani citizens get married in Georgia?

Official marriage registration in Georgia for Pakistani citizens typically takes 1–2 business days. Thanks to remote pre-arrangement of the required documents, the Kate&Co Weddings team can prepare and submit the application to the Public Service Hall in advance. The civil marriage ceremony itself – including signing the marriage record and receiving the marriage certificate – usually takes just 15–30 minutes. After the ceremony, the certificate can be processed for international legalization, and the completed documents can be delivered to you in person or by international courier.

Are witnesses required for marriage registration in Georgia?

Yes. Under Georgian law, the presence of two adult witnesses is mandatory for an official marriage registration. Witnesses may be citizens of any country, provided they have valid passports and notarized Georgian translations of their passport details where required. If you are traveling to Georgia as a couple and planning an intimate ceremony without guests, the Kate&Co Weddings team will provide two official witnesses free of charge.

Wedding ceremony in Tbilisi for a couple from Pakistan

Can Pakistani couples arrange a Muslim or Pakistani-style wedding in Georgia?

Yes. In addition to the official civil marriage registration, Pakistani couples can also celebrate a Muslim wedding ceremony or a traditional Pakistani-style wedding in Georgia. Many couples choose to combine the legal civil marriage with a Nikah ceremony, while incorporating cultural traditions such as Eastern-inspired décor, live music, and other elements of Pakistani wedding customs. The Kate&Co Weddings team can arrange both the official civil marriage registration and a Nikah ceremony at the historic Juma Mosque in Tbilisi, conducted by a certified imam in accordance with Islamic traditions. This allows couples to combine a legally recognized civil marriage with a meaningful religious ceremony while preserving the customs that matter most to their families.

Is a Georgian marriage certificate valid in Pakistan or the UAE?

Yes. A Georgian marriage certificate is legally valid and recognized in both Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, although the legalization process differs for each country.

• For Pakistan (Apostille): Pakistan is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, a Georgian marriage certificate can be legalized with an Apostille issued by the Georgian Ministry of Justice. No additional certification by the Pakistani Embassy is required.
• For the UAE (Consular Legalization): The United Arab Emirates is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, the marriage certificate must undergo full consular legalization, including certification by the Georgian Ministry of Justice, the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE Embassy in Tbilisi, and final authentication by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

Kate&Co Weddings provides end-to-end apostille and consular legalization services and can deliver your completed documents by international courier anywhere in the world.

Can a Pakistani citizen marry a partner of another nationality in Georgia?

Yes. Pakistani citizens can legally marry a partner of any nationality in Georgia without unnecessary restrictions. Georgia is widely regarded as one of the most convenient destinations for international, multinational, and interfaith couples. You can legally marry a citizen of India, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, the United States, any Schengen country, GCC countries, or virtually any other nation. Georgian civil law does not impose special requirements on international marriages and does not require approval letters or marriage permission certificates from your respective embassies. This makes the process significantly simpler than in many other jurisdictions.
