Registration of marriage in Georgia
Getting married in Georgia is simple and beautiful. For foreigners, the procedure is as convenient as possible, and the required documents are minimal:
- Passports of both spouses – the primary document for identification.
- Documents confirming the dissolution of a previous marriage or a spouse’s death certificate, if either partner was previously married.
- Two witnesses, whom we can provide so you don’t have to find them yourselves.
The registration process takes place at the justice authorities: you submit an application and receive an official marriage certificate on the wedding day, ready for apostille or consular legalization for use abroad. At Kate&Co Weddings, we fully manage the organization of this process: preparing and verifying documents, translations, notarization, and assistance at the justice authorities. You can calmly focus on your celebration while we take care of all the bureaucratic nuances. With us, marriage registration becomes an easy, safe, and completely transparent procedure, making your wedding in Georgia an unforgettable event.

Procedure for dissolution of marriage in Georgia
We are convinced: the end of a relationship should be just as eco-friendly and stress-free as its beginning. In Georgia, the marriage dissolution procedure is as transparent as possible, though it has its own timing and procedural specifics that distinguish it from instantaneous registration. The main emphasis here is not on bureaucracy, but on every person’s right to a civilized resolution of legal issues. Divorce in Georgian jurisdiction takes place in several stages, each of which we take under our complete control:
- Process initiation. To officially start the procedure, a divorce application must be submitted to the justice authorities. Unlike registration, the law provides time for consideration here – the standard period for reviewing an application is from 7 to 10 working days.
- Remote format. The most important advantage of working with us is that your personal presence in Georgia is not required. While you are in your country, our experts act as your legal representatives, going through all the authorities for you.
- Finalization and legalization. After the decision is made, you receive two copies of the marriage dissolution certificate. To ensure the document has full legal force outside of Georgia, we take it through the final cycle of apostille or consular legalization.
At every stage of this journey, you will feel our support. We understand that time is the most valuable resource, so we structure the sequence of actions so that the process moves continuously, and you receive only the finished result. With Kate&Co Weddings, completing legal formalities turns from an exhausting wait into a well-oiled mechanism.
Where to apply for divorce in Georgia
The process of terminating a marriage in Georgia is organized as logically as possible, but the place of application directly depends on whether the spouses have managed to maintain mutual consent. Depending on your situation, there are two main paths:
- Administrative procedure (Public Service Hall). This is the main body for registering the dissolution of marriage if both spouses agree to this step and are ready to sign the relevant documents (personally or through a representative of our agency). This is the fastest and calmest way, which our clients prefer. In the Public Service Hall, they do not ask unnecessary questions or require personal dramas – a correctly executed expression of will is sufficient.
- Judicial divorce. This option is resorted to in exceptional cases when an irreconcilable dispute arises between the parties that cannot be settled peacefully. If one of the spouses is categorically against the divorce or if there are complex claims, the case is referred to court. It is important to understand that a trial significantly increases the waiting time and requires deeper legal intervention and the presence of a lawyer.
The Kate&Co Weddings team does everything to ensure your case stays within the administrative process. We act as mediators and experts, helping to properly prepare documents for the Public Service Hall to avoid court costs. We take over the interaction with state authorities, saving you from having to delve into the intricacies of the Georgian procedural code and visit official institutions.
Who has the right to file for divorce in Georgia
Georgian legislation is as open as possible to foreign citizens: all couples whose union was officially registered within the country have the right to terminate their marriage through divorce in the local jurisdiction. At the same time, the law does not limit your method of filing documents, offering two equal paths:
- Personal presence of the spouses. If you have decided to divorce, a written divorce application can be filed jointly by you when visiting the Public Service Hall. However, for many foreigners, this involves serious logistical difficulties and unnecessary emotional encounters.
- Remote filing via a representative. This is the most popular format of working with Kate&Co Weddings. You have every right to delegate the authority to handle your case to an employee of our agency. Based on a notarized power of attorney, we file the application on your behalf (husband and wife), and your physical presence in the country will not be required at any stage.
Also, the right to register a marriage dissolution arises if you already have a court decision on divorce that has entered into force (issued in Georgia or, in certain cases, abroad). In such a situation, our specialists will help to correctly legalize this fact in the state registry. We ensure that your right to divorce is exercised with maximum comfort. Regardless of where you are at the moment—in Europe, Asia, or America—we provide you with the legal opportunity to close this issue remotely, guaranteeing that your application will be accepted and processed by state authorities as quickly as possible.
List of documents for divorce in Georgia
To dissolve an officially registered marriage in Georgia, you won’t have to collect endless certificates. The procedure is simplified as much as possible for foreigners, and our agency minimizes your efforts. Most importantly: you do not even need to have the original of your marriage certificate on hand – a high-quality copy is sufficient, as all data is already stored in the state registry of Georgia. To start the process through Kate&Co Weddings, you will need to prepare:
- Copies of foreign passports. We will provide their professional translation into Georgian and notarization within the country.
- Power of attorney for a representative. This is a key document that allows us to act on your behalf (must be issued on behalf of each spouse). If you are in a CIS country, notarization is sufficient. For countries of the Hague Convention, an apostilled power of attorney is required, and for countries like the UAE or Qatar – consular legalization.
- Copy of the marriage certificate. As already mentioned, the original is not required, which significantly simplifies the task if the document is lost or out of reach.
- Court decision on divorce. If your process took place through the courts, we will need a copy of this decision for its official recording in the justice authorities and the issuance of final certificates.
We take care of the entire chain of legalization of your documents in Georgia: from the translation of powers of attorney to the final certification by a notary. All you have to do is send us the documents, and the marriage dissolution mechanism will be launched. With the support of our specialists, your to-do list is reduced to one point – trusting professionals who know how to correctly prepare every sheet for a flawless result.

Legal consequences of divorce in Georgia
Completing the divorce process in the justice authorities is not just about receiving a piece of paper, but a complete legal update of your status. At Kate&Co Weddings, we ensure that this transition is recognized as official and final in your country of residence. It is important to understand that the registration of a divorce in Georgia entails the termination of all mutual obligations of the spouses provided for by the family code, from the moment the entry is made in the state registry. After the official procedure is completed, we provide full legal support for the result:
- Two copies of the certificate. The state issues separate documents for each of the former spouses. We receive them personally and prepare them for shipment.
- International legitimacy. A certificate in Georgian is valid only within the country. To ensure it carries weight in your home country, we take it through the apostille procedure (for Hague Convention countries – in 1-2 working days) or consular legalization (for countries such as the UAE or Qatar – from 8 to 11 working days).
- Delivery to your hands. You don’t need to worry about the safety of your documents. We organize secure courier delivery of the finished certificates with a full package of translations right to your doorstep.
