Who chooses to marry in Kutaisi
Kutaisi is a practical option for couples arriving in western Georgia through Kutaisi International Airport who want to complete the government procedure without travelling to another city. We assist foreign and mixed-nationality couples, including partners with different citizenships.
Before flights are booked, we ask about each partner's marital history and where the certificate will be used. This identifies additional documents early and avoids presenting passport-only eligibility as a universal rule.
Documents for marriage in Kutaisi
The final checklist follows an individual review. The usual starting point is:
- ✓A joint written application
- ✓Valid passports for both partners
- ✓Proof of lawful stay in Georgia for foreign citizens
- ✓Both partners attending in person
- ✓Two adult witnesses with legal capacity
- ✓Proof that a previous marriage ended, where applicable
- ✓Apostille or legalisation and translation of foreign documents when required
We arrange the necessary Georgian translations and notarisation. The official government service description is available from Georgia's Public Service Development Agency.
Official SDA marriage registration informationSame-day registration and apostille timing
When scans have been checked, translations are ready and the government review raises no additional questions, registration in Kutaisi can often be completed on the day of application. A specific completion time cannot be guaranteed because queues, workload and working schedules vary.
The apostille stage starts after the certificate is issued. It has a separate timeframe in working days, which we confirm before travel with weekends and public holidays in mind.
Arriving via Kutaisi International Airport
For couples flying into Kutaisi International Airport, we coordinate arrival with document preparation and the House of Justice visit. A meeting or transfer to Kutaisi can be arranged on request.
We recommend allowing a buffer for flight delays rather than planning around a tight connection. The route, transfer cost and any need for an additional night are agreed before the trip.

Using the certificate abroad
A Georgian certificate records an official marriage, but the steps for using it abroad are set by the destination country and receiving authority. An apostille or legalisation and a translation may be required.
Under the $400 package, we arrange an apostille and translation into one selected language. The client must still confirm the receiving authority's exact requirements.
Frequently asked questions about marriage in Kutaisi
Can foreign citizens get married in Kutaisi?
Yes. International and mixed-nationality couples can submit a joint written application in Kutaisi. The exact document list depends on citizenship, current marital status and previous marriages, so we review each case before travel.
Can marriage registration in Kutaisi be completed in one day?
After an advance document review and preparation, registration can often be completed on the day of application. Timing is not guaranteed and depends on document readiness, government checks, queues and the House of Justice schedule.
Is the apostille completed on the same day?
An apostille is requested only after the marriage certificate has been issued. It is a separate procedure measured in working days. We confirm the available timeframe before travel, and it is not part of a same-day registration estimate.
What documents are normally required?
Couples normally need valid passports, proof of lawful stay in Georgia for foreign citizens, a joint written application, both partners in person and two adult witnesses with legal capacity. Proof that a previous marriage ended may be required; foreign documents may also need an apostille or legalisation and a notarised translation.
Do both partners need to attend in person?
Yes. Both partners must be present for the application and registration. Document review, translation preparation and scheduling can be handled remotely before arrival.
Can you provide witnesses?
Yes. Two witnesses are included in the Standard package when the couple is not bringing their own.
Will the Georgian certificate be accepted abroad?
Requirements depend on the destination country and the receiving authority. An apostille or consular legalisation and a translation may be required, so the couple should confirm the exact requirements with that authority.
Can you coordinate arrival through Kutaisi International Airport?
Yes. We can coordinate a meeting or transfer and align arrival with the registration plan. Transport costs and arrangements are confirmed separately before travel.
