Document history
Review of Georgian and foreign birth, marriage, name-change, citizenship and other family records.
Administrative procedure
Structuring the legal basis, supporting documents and any follow-up steps after a decision.

The correct procedure comes first
In everyday language, “obtaining citizenship” can refer to several different legal mechanisms. Place of birth, parents, former citizenship, connection with Georgia and other facts determine which procedure is actually relevant.
Document consistency is critical
Older records often contain different transliterations, surname forms, places of birth or date errors. Before filing, we map the document chain and identify whether a record must be corrected, an additional certificate obtained or an explanatory document prepared.
Applicants living abroad
Much of the preliminary assessment and document preparation can be handled remotely. Whether personal appearance, a consular route or representation is available at a particular stage depends on the chosen procedure and the official requirements.

Before Starting
What clients ask before starting
How do I know which citizenship procedure applies to me?
Can I use a foreign birth or marriage certificate?
Foreign documents can generally be used subject to the appropriate certification and Georgian translation requirements. The exact formalities depend on the country of issue and the purpose for which the document will be used.
Is it a problem if my surname is spelled differently in different documents?
It can require additional explanation or supporting evidence. The inconsistency should ideally be identified before filing so that connecting documents can be prepared in advance.
Can a citizenship matter be started remotely?
The initial document review and many preparatory steps can be handled remotely. The form of the formal application and any personal-appearance requirement depend on the procedure.
What should be checked if I previously held Georgian citizenship?
We first establish how and when the citizenship ended, your present status and which procedure fits that history. Old passports, birth records and earlier citizenship decisions can be particularly important.
