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:
Everything for your application will be ready at your arrival, just have your passports with you. You will be guided for that.
Wedding Ceremony:
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.
Witnesses:
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.
Marriage Certificate:
After the ceremony, you will receive a marriage certificate. This certificate will be in Georgian language and of course, we will provide for the official translation and related seal (apostille or legalization by Ministry of Georgia) belong the country you will need to register.
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.

When Wedding and Ceremonies will be reopening in Tbilisi

In Georgia the State of Emergency has been lifted  (24th May) but many restrictions will be on duty before to come back at a normal life.

Regarding what affected to a normal activity of the related bureaucracy procedure before, during and after the wedding ceremony we interviewed the local authority  to clear the actual information released from the Government and all fake news in the social network.

Notary services and affiliated official translators bureau are not ALL on duty.  All the activities must have an online booking to be accepted.

Wedding houses are not ALL open and they cannot accept any new request or re-booking of the services without an advance online booking request. Only some wedding house will be open but for restricted number of person, no more than 10 people are allowed in the hall during the civil rite and everybody must wear the mask [update on 06th June, 2020]. Everything has to stand-by monitoring as the light reopening can effect to the spread of the virus. Any wedding full ceremony is not allowed till further date. Any event organization and event agency are not allowed to operate at the moment. Only Georgian citizens or people resident actually in Georgia can apply for this request if their need could be consider urgent by authority decision. At the reopening, following the actual roles, maximum 10 persons including the celebration official authority and the photographer will be allowed in the hall wearing mask and keeping social distance.

The international flights and related Tourism services will be starting from the 1st of SEPTEMBER 2020 [updated 22nd July].At the moment to create a safe corridor authorities are thinking about safety roles. It is not yet confirmed but Tourist entering Georgia may have to prove they’ve tested negative for coronavirus in the past 72 hours.

On Governament decision Georgia open boearders unconditionally to 5 countries, Germany, France , Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia. The citizens/residents of the 5 countries above can only use direct flights to Georgia for any type of visit. Before crossing Georgia’s border, they must fill in a special e-form and list their travel history in the course of the previous 14 days, as well as the location of their stay in Georgia, contact information.

All people from the other countries will be under 14 days quarantine at their expences. (Update 24th July 2020).

Georgian National Centre for Disease Control states Tourists may have to abide by several conditions when entering and moving about in the country, and may be monitored by a ‘tracking app’. This is not approved at the moment but it is on the desk of the Gov to be discussed. Being these last statements still working in progress, it is clear Georgia Gov will be monitoring the situation and going to add or remove restrictions on the way. It makes more difficult to plan something till a clear and  final official statement will be release.

Wishing to keep a safe way to work for all our clients, considering this situation does not allow us to plan and to work as normal and to be able to give a date for restart till now, we took the decision to postpone  the reopening of our activities at later date. We wish and will monitor how the opening of the Tourism can affect to the spread of the Covid-19, waiting for the full reopening of the wedding houses and the official Notary and Translator bureau in town.

Do not exitate to contact us for any update you should need.

The village is overlooking the valley of Alazani with a breathtaking view.
To get there it takes about two hours by road from the center of Tbilisi or an hour and a half from the airport.
Documents to be submitted are the same as for Tbilisi , until the ceremony , the only issue is the fact that you have to plan a whole day in Tbilisi for the translation of the wedding certificate in english or another languare available and the related apostille to access at the legal transcription of your marriage in your country.

Problems? No one, if you ask for our help ….


Even for the marriage in Sighnaghi you can ask me my  “no issues easy wedding package” and you have to think only to enjoy your time.

How to get married in Tbilisi Georgia

Best wishes! If you’re on this webpage, it’s true—love has no borders!

I’m thrilled for you because I got married in Tbilisi too! I’m a professional photographer and wedding planner, and I’ve been living in Georgia for 10 years. My wife, after years of a diplomatic career, now handles the marriage organization. We speak English, Italian, Georgian, Russian, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently.

Which better help and wedding  planner can you find in Tbilisi?

We can organize your marriage in Georgia, internationally recognized, in few working days!

In just a minimum stay of a few working days, you’ll get married and leave Tbilisi with your wedding paperwork. If needed, we can also send the paperwork to your home by express courier, ensuring no one leaves without their much-dreamed-of marriage certificate!

I recommend reading the entire post to get all the general information, but if you’re only looking for this month’s special offer…

Have you decided on your wedding date?
Would you prefer a civil ceremony, a religious rite, or perhaps both?
Have you been married before?
Did you check if you need a visa to enter Georgia? Please make sure you have all the necessary information, as I can handle your wedding management or photography services, but visa issues are beyond my control.

Does the lady wish to take her husband’s surname? No problem—she can do so easily in Tbilisi!
If neither of you is a Georgian citizen, expatriate, or resident, have you checked if your country or embassy requires the paperwork to have apostille or legalization seals for later marriage registration? You can find information about Apostille and Legalization seals at this link.

Are you expatriates in a third country (e.g., UAE, Qatar, RSA, Bahrain) and wish to register the marriage there?
These are the key questions you should consider to optimize your time when you email us.

In any case, getting married to a Georgian citizen is relatively simple. However, as with any legal matter, there are some bureaucratic procedures to legalize your marriage status in Georgia and in your home country.



If neither of you are Georgian citizens, our assistance can be invaluable in avoiding mistakes in translations and procedures before, during, and after the wedding. We help save time, prevent issues, and ensure everything is stress-free.

If you want to get married without spending too much time in Tbilisi, a civil ceremony is likely the best option for you. The religious rite of the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Georgian Church requires baptism, which may not be something you’re considering, especially if neither of you are Georgian. However, nothing is impossible, and we can assist with that too if you wish.

Georgians often perform both rituals on the same day to avoid any legal misunderstandings between church and civil law. On this page, we discuss what’s needed for a civil ceremony.

It’s important to know that Georgia imposes no restrictions on people of different religions or nationalities getting married. You can apply for marriage in Tbilisi regardless of your faith.

Is there any offer or wedding package could we avail?
Our “Easy Wedding Package” is perfect for those who don’t want to worry about any details. All you need to do is arrive in Tbilisi, and everything will be ready for you. Check out our latest wedding offer by clicking here.

We will handle all the official documents needed to apply for your wedding, guide you through the civil rite, and take care of the paperwork required to register your marriage in your home country afterward. In just 3-4 working days, you can enjoy a wonderful time, including tours to explore the beauty of Tbilisi and surrounding areas such as Mtskheta, Jvari, Uplistsikhe, Kazbegi, David Gareja, Sighnaghi, and Alaverdi.

Only have a 2-day stay? No problem—we’ll send your official paperwork via express mail courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, or other).

Tbilisi will be the nest of your love.

A lot of extras as photography service, limousine, guided tours, guest assistance, bouquet, wedding dress rental, make up  can be provided at your request.
You have just to  Email me!
If you are interested for full package with awesome photography service, have a look to phototbilisi.com

Frequent asked questions: 

” Marriage for foreigners in Tbilisi (different Nationalities) will be a problem to be registered? “
Not at all.  You will leave Tbilisi with your proper civil wedding paperwork one per each country nationality.
What about marriage for No Georgian resident citizen? ” 
My website name is “Tbilisi Loves You” and I believe Georgia wants to be the kingdom of Love for everybody…. Yes you can, everybody welcome, you must have your passport (with visa if requested to get in Georgia), 2 witness and certainly you cannot avoid my help, expecially if you wish to be back in your country in few days with all proper documents. Usually I use to book in advance all the services and when you will come in few days everything will be set up….

Any infos about the city of Love Sighnaghi or other cities or location? ” 
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.
What’s up if for any problem the wedding paperwork will be not done before I will leave Tbilisi?” 
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.
” How I can save money having a short time to stay in Tbilisi?”
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.
Can you provide everything, I mean a full wedding planner program?”
Yes We can, expecially if you have a short stayng, bouquet, rings, wedding dress (you can even only rent it), make up, coiffeur, restaurants and simple or exclusive venues and of course photo service will be not a issue for you if you apply in advance. We are specialized in small groups of guest management but if you apply on time, no matter to manage any event.


” What about relatives and friends coming in Tbilisi for our wedding? ” 
We can check your hotel or appartment reservation, organize tours, set up the wedding tables names, anything you wish…
“And if I am divorced and I wish to get married again?” 
Yes you can. It is a  longer procedure and it depends from the country released your divorce certificate or decree of divorce but you can…check this post … or write me
” We are already married but we wish just to renew the vows “
We can choose nice outdoor location and add an amazing photography service to make unforgettable that day
“We are coming for the need to get the document without frills”
Even I do not advice, you can choose the “Simply” package and you can read infos at this link.
