Why Israeli couples choose Georgia for their wedding
For several years now, Georgia has been among the top destinations for Israeli couples who want to officially tie the knot abroad. And it’s easy to see why: in Sakartvelo, you can have it all – simplicity, speed, and beauty – without wasting time or energy. Everything here is designed so that you can focus on what truly matters: you and your special day.
Legally recognized marriage in Israel
One of the biggest advantages is that a marriage registered in Georgia is fully recognized in Israel. The marriage certificate issued by the Georgian Civil Registry carries full legal validity and is accepted in Israel once it’s apostilled. This means you don’t have to go through another ceremony or visit a consulate. Your wedding in Georgia will be 100% legal and official, and you’ll receive all the necessary documents confirming your union.
No visa and no bureaucratic hassles
For Israeli citizens, entry to Georgia is visa-free, and you can stay in the country for up to one year without any additional documents. That alone removes a lot of unnecessary complications and paperwork. On top of that, the marriage registration process here is as simple as it gets – no invitations, no long background checks, and no waiting in endless lines. Everything can be arranged quickly, officially, and stress-free. With our help, the entire procedure becomes smooth and effortless: we prepare all the documents in advance, coordinate your dates, and guide you through every step of the process.
Fast registration – just 1-2 days
In Georgia, getting legally married takes almost no time. We can arrange your official marriage registration in as little as one day. Most of our couples receive their marriage certificate – complete with an apostille – within just one or two days after arrival. It’s the perfect solution for those who don’t want to spend weeks waiting and prefer to combine the legal part with a short romantic getaway. The Kate&Co Weddings team takes care of every detail – from document preparation and submission to full coordination on your registration day. All that’s left for you to do is say “I do.”

How to get married in Georgia – step by step
Getting married in Georgia for Israeli citizens is a straightforward process with clear and transparent procedures. If you want everything to go officially, quickly, and without stress, you just need to know a few key points.
Required documents for Israeli citizens
To register a marriage, Israeli citizens need the following documents:
- Valid passports for both partners
- Documents confirming marital status (only required if either partner was previously married – divorce certificate or spouse’s death certificate)
- Notarized translations of these documents into Georgian
No criminal record certificates, medical examinations, or additional permits are required. We provide a full list of documents in advance, check them for correctness, and prepare translations so that upon arrival, you can start the registration process immediately.
Apostille and translation process
All documents issued in Georgia must be legalized for recognition in Israel. This is done through an apostille, which certifies the authenticity of Georgian documents. We handle this part of the process – arranging the apostille and, if necessary, providing notarized translations into Hebrew or English. You will receive ready-to-use documents that can be easily used in Israel to confirm the validity of your marriage with official authorities.
Registration at the Public Service Hall
The registration process for foreign couples in Georgia is extremely simple and takes just a few hours. You choose a date, submit your documents, and can receive the official marriage certificate the same day. Our coordinator will accompany you at the registry office, assist with translations, and handle all formalities. You don’t need to worry about bureaucracy – everything is prepared in advance, so all that’s left is to enjoy the moment.
Optional symbolic or religious ceremonies
After the official registration, many couples choose to hold a symbolic ceremony in a beautiful location or a chuppah ritual, giving the day a special meaning and atmosphere. This could be an exchange of vows in a vineyard, in the mountains, by the sea, or at a historic estate. We select the venue, arrange the décor, choose the photographer and host, and create a mood that reflects your unique story. Every couple is one of a kind, and we do everything to make your day exactly as you have always dreamed.
