Why Translation Bureau
Georgia is one of the easiest countries on earth to move to, invest in or start a company in - until a clerk asks for a notarized legal translation and you realize the deadline is tomorrow. Translation Bureau exists to remove that friction entirely. From our office at David Agmashenebeli Ave 117, two minutes from Marjanishvili Metro, we translate, certify, notarize and apostille documents for thousands of clients every year: digital nomads applying for a residence permit, foreign investors registering an LLC at the House of Justice, students submitting diplomas for recognition, families reuniting through the immigration process, and multinational corporations managing tenders, audits and cross-border contracts.
What makes us different is speed without shortcuts. Our in-house notary workflow means a standard document can be translated by a specialized linguist, proofread, stamped and notarized in 1-2 hours. Send a photo via WhatsApp, approve a fixed quote in 15 minutes, and by the time you reach our office with the original the translation is already done - the notary signs it while you wait. For passports and driving licenses you do not even need to come: this is our exclusive fully online service, with the notarized original couriered anywhere in Georgia or worldwide by DHL.
Every project is covered by a strict NDA, handled by translators who specialize in law, medicine, finance or engineering, and formatted to match the requirements of the exact authority you are dealing with - whether that is the Public Service Development Agency, a foreign embassy in Tbilisi, a European university admissions office or a US immigration attorney.

Full detailsA notarized will covering Georgian property, bank accounts, shares and vehicles. Foreign nationals with assets in Georgia are strongly advised to make a separate Georgian will - it avoids years of cross-border probate. Drafted with an interpreter present.

An apostille is the international certificate that makes a Georgian public document valid in every Hague Convention country. Diplomas, birth certificates, police clearances, powers of attorney and company extracts all need one before a foreign authority will accept them. The process involves the right issuing body (Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education or the notary chamber), the correct order of translation and certification, and physical submission and collection. We do all of it for you: verify the document is apostille-eligible, prepare the notarized translation in the sequence the destination country requires, submit it, and hand you a finished, apostilled bundle. You visit our office at Agmashenebeli 117 once with the original - we deal with the state agencies. Clients abroad receive the finished bundle by international courier with tracking, so a document can leave Tbilisi in the morning and reach Berlin, Dubai or New York within days.
Georgia's residence permit, work permit and investor programs are refreshingly straightforward, but the paperwork is unforgiving: every foreign document must be translated into Georgian and notarized in a format the Public Service Development Agency accepts. We prepare notarized legal translation bundles for temporary and permanent residence, family reunification, citizenship applications, marriage registration at the House of Justice, company formation (LLC and JSC charters, founder passports, powers of attorney), bank account opening, property purchase agreements and Revenue Service tax registration. Because we handle these applications every day, we know the rejection triggers - a missing page, an untranslated stamp, a wrong transliteration of your name - and we eliminate them before you submit.
