Getting married in easy, simple way in Tbilisi

Getting married in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, can be a straightforward and relatively simple process, especially if you are a foreigner looking to marry a Georgian citizen or another foreigner. Here are the steps to get married in Tbilisi:

Legal Requirements:
Make sure you meet the legal requirements for marriage in Georgia. Generally, both parties must be at least 18 years old, and there are no specific nationality or residency requirements.
Required Documents:
Gather the necessary documents, which include:
– Your passports
– Any divorce decrees or death certificates if you or your spouse were previously married.

Marriage Application:

Once your application is approved, a wedding ceremony time has been scheduled. What we call ceremony, it can be just simple and fast moment or a classic celebrative time. So no panic just we will drive you belong your wishes.

You will need two witnesses to attend the ceremony. They should have their identification documents with them. If you do not have, no worries, we provide for them.

Registration of Marriage:
This step is essential if you plan to use your Georgian marriage certificate in your home country. Usually Country requiring apostille (l’hague convention) have different steps from the countries requiring legalization. You can understand better in my recent post about “Apostille or Legalization“.

Inform Your Home Country:
Depending on your home country’s requirements, you may need to inform your country’s embassy or consulate in Tbilisi about your marriage and they could require a visit after marriage to register the marriage in the Embassy.

As you can understand, its is not difficult to get married in Tbilisi but it is absolutely better to be guided from a professional service to not have the issues in transliteration, embassy informations, acts and bureaucracy could create troubles for your residency in a foreign country or in a place where you are going to leave.

My wedding in Tbilisi Apostille or Legalization seals?

One of the most frequest question is what does mean Apostille or Legalization in your certificate of marriage. The difference is very important to be learn as it can make a big issue to register the marriage later in your country or in your embassy or in a third part country where you are expat and temporary or permanent residents.

Sometimes people does not get attention at all to this matter and frequently they arrived in Tbilisi without to get the proper informations.



The wedding in Tbilisi could be very smooth and fast but it will be not so easy, smooth and fast to register the wedding if you get wrong in this matter.

All countries related l’Hague convention are belong Apostille that practically by-pass your embassy and make quite fast to approch for the registration of your wedding hold abroad. if your country is not belong l’hague convention list (e.g. Lebanon, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, South Africa), you must require a certificate of marriage with legalization.

The first legalization seals are from the country issuing the certificate. So the certificate of marriage will have the Legalization seals by Georgian law. On contrary the Apostille, the certificate with Legalization  is not enough for a lot of countries and many Nations requires their seals stamped as well in that document. It means after the release of the official certificate of marriage in Georgia with the Legalization seals, you will need to get the stamp of the related embassy as well.

There are some exception like Canada and few other country and we try constantly to be updated but our advice is to check directly with your embassy or municipality what to get to register your marriage abroad.

Do You have decided the wedding date ?
Do You want a civil or religious rite or rather both?
Have you ever been married ?
Did you check if you need Visa to get in Georgia? Please check all the info you need to know about that, because I can be in charge for your wedding management or photography service but not for the visas issues.
Maybe the lady wish to take the husband’s surname ? No problem in Tbilisi she can!

Basically these are the right questions you have to do to yourself to optimize the time when you will email us.
In any option, to get married with a Georgian citizen is relatively simple, there are also , as it is normal, some bureaucratic procedures to legalize the marriage status in Georgia and in your Country.

If you want to get  married without to spend too much time in Tbilisi, certainly the civil rite ceremony is made for you because even the religious rite of the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Georgian church requires ex novo the Baptism.
I do not think you are going to take this step , expecially if none is Georgian, however, nothing is impossible and we can help you even for that.
Georgians do the both rituals in the same day to avoid any legal misunderstanding between church and civil law. We talk on this page about what we need to be married with the civil rite ceremony.

Not at all.  You will leave Tbilisi with your proper civil wedding paperwork one per each country nationality.

Being foreigners, having short time, wishing to save time and money I advice to set the civil rite in Tbilisi than to go in Sighnaghi as honemooner trip or to get for Sighnaghi just a photography day trip. By the way, sure, you can get married even in the beautiful smalltown of Sighnaghi, have a look to this page
Than you can choose Batumi but it is far away from the capital and we do not use to provide for services during winter season over there.

In this extremely rare situation, we will send you the documents by UPS, DHL, TNT express mail courier in your country, so no problem at all.

The service of dhl helps to save money in stayng, accomodation and related expences . You can have just 2 days stayng in Tbilisi, getting the basic cheap procedure and you will get your document by dhl at home in 1 week time. That is why it is very important to have a look to the flights shedules maybe you could book.
