What Happens After the Wedding?

Registering your Georgia marriage back home.

You have said "I do." 💍

Your marriage has been officially registered in Georgia, and you are holding your Georgian marriage certificate.

So… what happens next?

For an international couple, the wedding ceremony is not always the final step.

If you plan to use your Georgia marriage certificate in your home country, you may need to complete additional procedures so that your Georgian marriage documentation can be presented to the relevant authorities abroad.

This is where many couples start asking questions:

  • How do I register my marriage back home?
  • Will my Georgian marriage certificate be recognized in my country?
  • Do I need an Apostille?
  • Does my marriage certificate need to be translated?
  • What is legalization?

And most importantly: who is going to take care of all of this after we get married?

At Your Wedding in Georgia, you don't have to worry about figuring it all out alone.

Our goal is simple

You enjoy your wedding. We take care of the paperwork.

Is a Georgian Marriage Certificate Valid in Another Country?

This is one of the most important questions for couples planning an international marriage.

Getting married in Georgia creates an official Georgian marriage record and results in a Georgian marriage certificate.

However, if you are a foreign couple and plan to use that certificate in another country, the receiving country may have additional requirements.

Documents issued in Georgia intended for use abroad may need to be certified with an Apostille or legalized, depending on the country where they will be used.

This is why obtaining your marriage certificate is only one part of the process for many international couples.

The next step is making sure your documentation is properly prepared for its intended use abroad. And this is exactly the part we help with.

Apostille or Legalization — What's the Difference?

If you have never dealt with international documents before, the words Apostille and legalization can sound complicated.

The basic principle is actually quite simple.

An Apostille is used for public documents that will be presented in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention. Apostille certification confirms the authenticity of the signature, the authority of the person who signed the document and, where applicable, the seal or stamp.

For countries that are not covered by the Apostille Convention, a legalization procedure may apply instead. Legalization involves additional certification steps and may also require certification by the diplomatic or consular office of the country receiving the document.

The important thing is that you don't need to become an expert in international document procedures.

You simply need to know where your marriage certificate will be used. Our team can then help coordinate the appropriate process.

What if My Marriage Certificate Needs Translation?

Another common issue for international couples is language.

Your Georgian marriage certificate may need to be translated into the language required by the authorities in your home country.

Depending on the destination country and the specific requirements, the translation may also need to be notarized or certified.

At Your Wedding in Georgia, we can organize the translation and notarization of your marriage documentation as part of the post-wedding process.

Your Marriage Doesn't End When You Leave Georgia

For many couples, Georgia is where their marriage begins — but their married life continues somewhere else.
