Finnish Personal Documents - Translated and Notarized for Georgia and Finland

Passi, henkilökortti and ajokortti

Finnish passports and henkilökortit are translated into Georgian for residence permits, company registration, property purchases, bank accounts, lease agreements and marriage at the House of Justice. Because these are standardized documents, we translate and notarize them from a clear photo, without the original, and courier the notarized translation anywhere in Georgia or abroad. Finnish ajokortit are translated for the Service Agency when exchanging or presenting a license, and for rental and insurance companies. Transliteration of your name into Georgian is fixed at the first translation and kept on file so every subsequent document matches; ä and ö and Finnish double vowels and consonants are transliterated by consistent rules aligned with the passport's machine-readable line, and the henkilötunnus is reproduced exactly, since Georgian offices use it as an identifier.

The virkatodistus: Finland's all-in-one civil status document

Finland does not issue separate birth, marriage and family certificates in the way Georgia does. Civil status lives in the population information system kept by DVV, and the document Finns present abroad is the virkatodistus or ote väestötietojärjestelmästä - an extract issued by DVV (or by the Evangelical Lutheran or Orthodox parish for their members) that can show birth data, parents, marital status, spouse, children and address in one document, in Finnish, Swedish or English, tailored to the purpose requested. Georgian civil registrars and the Public Service Development Agency accept it, apostilled by DVV, translated and notarized here, for marriage registration, family residence permits, inheritance and divorce proceedings, provided the extract shows the data the Georgian office needs - so choosing the right type of extract matters, and we tell you which to order. Vihkitodistukset from the registrar or church and divorce evidenced by the court's tuomio are translated the same way. In the other direction, Georgian birth, marriage and death certificates go to DVV for population registration and the marriage impediment examination, to Migri for family reunification and to Finnish perunkirjoitus proceedings; these are apostilled and translated into Finnish or English. Every translation mirrors the original field by field.

Rikosrekisteriote and the Georgian conviction certificate

Georgian temporary residence permits require a criminal record check from the applicant's country. For Finnish citizens that is the rikosrekisteriote from the Legal Register Centre (Oikeusrekisterikeskus), ordered online or by post for a stated purpose - Finnish extracts are purpose-specific, and the one for a foreign residence permit is requested as such - and apostilled by DVV. We translate it into Georgian and notarize it in 1-2 hours. Finnish teachers at schools in Tbilisi need it for their work permits and are asked by their schools for the Finnish extract for work with children. Georgians applying to Migri do not generally need a conviction certificate, but Valvira authorization, employers in healthcare, childcare and security, and citizenship applications do; the Georgian conviction certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is apostilled and translated into Finnish or English, and we treat it as express work.

The marriage impediment examination and marriage across borders

A Georgian marrying in Finland goes through DVV's avioliiton esteiden tutkinta, which requires the Georgian birth certificate, a certificate of marital status confirming no impediment, proof of legal residence, and, if previously married, divorce decisions or the death certificate of the former spouse, all apostilled and translated; DVV then issues the esteettömyystodistus that the registrar (at DVV) or the church needs, valid for four months. A Finnish citizen marrying in Georgia presents a virkatodistus showing marital status, apostilled by DVV, translated into Georgian and notarized; Georgian registrars sometimes ask for a separate statement of no impediment, which DVV can include in the extract. We prepare both sets and know the validity windows. After a marriage in Georgia, the Finnish spouse registers it with DVV with the apostilled and translated Georgian certificate, which we include in the same order. Registered partnerships and avoliitto (cohabitation), which Migri recognizes for family reunification after two years, are documented with translated leases, joint accounts and correspondence rather than certificates.

Child travel consents, address extracts and proof of address

Georgian border police require a notarized consent from the non-travelling parent when a minor leaves Georgia with one parent, and Finnish authorities recommend a written suostumus in comparable cases. We draft bilingual consents at our notary with an interpreter and translate consents issued in Finland for use at Georgian borders and schools. The address extract from DVV and other proof of address are requested by Georgian banks and the Revenue Service for tax residency, and Georgian residence certificates are translated into Finnish for DVV, Vero and Kela.

Tiliotteet, työsopimukset, pension documents, and how to order

Residence permits, property purchases and Georgian mortgages require proof of income; Migri asks for the employer's contract and salary meeting the threshold, and for family permits the sponsor's income. We translate tiliotteet from Nordea, OP, Danske Bank, S-Pankki and Aktia into Georgian, and Georgian statements from TBC, Bank of Georgia and Liberty into Finnish or English in a layout Finnish offices recognize, along with työsopimukset, palkkalaskelmat, verotuspäätökset from Vero, pension statements from Keva and the pension insurers and päätökset from Kela. For long statements we translate the header, totals and relevant transactions where the receiving office permits.

To order, send photos of every page, both sides, stamps legible, on WhatsApp; the quote arrives within 15 minutes. Passports and licenses need nothing more. For other documents bring the apostilled original to Agmashenebeli 117 when the translation is ready, or courier it from Batumi, Kutaisi or elsewhere. Delivery is by scan the moment the notary signs, by collection, by same-day courier in Tbilisi or by courier to any city; most personal documents are finished within the same afternoon.
