My partner and I analyzed various options and Georgia indeed looks rational on paper. The legislative framework there allows foreign citizens to register a marriage using just passports and certified translations. Bureaucracy appears minimal compared to the European Union. According to the data from the Wedding in Georgia agency legal procedures can often be completed within one or two days. They offer basic registration packages starting from four hundred and fifty dollars which covers document preparation and the Public Service Hall submission. For international validity the certificate requires an apostille or consular legalization. An expedited apostille can be obtained in one business day while consular paths take up to eleven days. It seems a practical solution for cross border couples who want to avoid endless certificates of no impediment.
