Contact Marry Georgia

Most first messages ask only whether a couple can marry in Georgia. The answer is almost always yes, and it tells you nothing useful. What decides your route is the combination of passports, marital history, travel window and certificate destination. Two Indian citizens in Dubai who were never married and need the certificate for a UAE residence visa have a simple route and a two-day plan. The same couple with one partner divorced in India needs an MEA apostille on the decree before travel, which adds two weeks at home. A Filipino partner who was married before and never annulled has no route at all until a Philippine court acts. We can only tell you which of these you are if the first message contains the facts.

Send passport photos rather than typed names: spelling, expiry dates and previous surnames are read from the data page. Tell us the country where the certificate will be used, because that decides whether the certificate is apostilled or legalized and whether two originals are needed. Tell us the travel window, because registration is on working days only and Georgian holidays close the registry.

We read the message and the passports and reply, usually within a few hours during Tbilisi working time and by the next morning outside it, with one of three answers. Simple: the route, the recommended dates, the package and the quote, and a request for any missing detail. Needs preparation: exactly which document must be authenticated or corrected at home, by which authority, and how the timeline changes. Not possible: why, and what would have to change. We do not ask for payment, flights or hotel bookings before that answer.

Once the route is confirmed we book the registration slot and the witnesses, arrange translation of any foreign document from the scans so it is ready on arrival, and send a written summary of the day, the documents to carry as originals and the steps for the certificate afterwards. Timelines for each stage are on how long marriage in Georgia takes.

Every month couples arrive in Tbilisi with a divorce document that cannot be used because it was never apostilled, or on a Friday before a Georgian holiday, or with a residence permit that was cancelled. Each of those means a wasted trip. The pre-check takes a day and costs nothing, and it is the reason our couples' registrations happen on the day planned. The guides on documents, same-day marriage and common document mistakes explain the reasons in detail; the message is the shortcut.
