Marriage registration in Batumi for foreigners — often in 1 day

Yes. Registration is carried out officially through Georgia's Public Service Development Agency (House of Justice). A simple registration without a special ceremony is free under the state tariff; $200 and $400 are the prices of our assistance packages.

Often, yes: with documents reviewed in advance, registration is frequently completed on the day of application. Exact timing depends on document checks, House of Justice workload, working hours and public holidays, so we do not guarantee a specific hour. The apostille is a separate step after the certificate is issued; state terms are same-day, 2nd, 4th or 8th working day, and availability is confirmed in advance.

No. A duly authorised representative may file the application, but marriage by proxy is not allowed: both partners must attend the registration in person together with two witnesses. Preparation — document review, translations, agreeing the date — is done with us online.

Yes, a residence permit is not mandatory. However, foreign citizens must show proof of lawful stay in Georgia. Besides passports, anyone previously married needs proof that the previous marriage has ended. Foreign documents other than IDs usually need an apostille or legalisation and a notarised Georgian translation.

We handle the organisation, review your documents before you travel and accompany you at the House of Justice. The registration decision is made by the state authority; if your case needs extra documents, we tell you before payment.

Of course — changing the surname is not mandatory in Georgia. The registrar will ask about it while preparing the documents.

Cryptocurrency, cash in GEL/USD/EUR, or bank transfer to Ukrainian or Georgian cards.

Yes. Before we start we sign an agreement setting out the timeline, the services and our responsibility to you.

An apostille certifies the signature and seal on the certificate; it does not guarantee automatic recognition of the marriage. Whether an apostille, translation or another step is needed is decided by the receiving authority. Countries outside the Apostille Convention may require consular legalisation, and some treaties waive the apostille. The current list of Convention parties is in the HCCH status table: https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/status-table?cid=41

Without an apostille, the working day of the registration is usually enough, though arriving the day before is wise. The apostille starts only after the certificate is issued and is counted in working days, so keep a buffer free of weekends and public holidays. We agree the exact plan before you book flights.

The marriage is entered in Georgia's state register. Whether you must register or confirm it in your own country depends on that country's law — check with your consulate or the relevant authority.

We agree the date in advance, taking into account the House of Justice working schedule and Georgian public holidays. Ceremonial and off-site registration are separate state services; their availability and fees are confirmed separately.
