French Personal Documents - Translated and Notarized for Georgia, France, Belgium and Switzerland

Passports, cartes d'identité and permis de conduire

French, Belgian, Swiss, Canadian and African French-language passports and identity cards 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. The French permis de conduire, the Belgian rijbewijs/permis, and the Swiss permis 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, which the Public Service Development Agency checks strictly.

Actes de naissance, de mariage, de divorce and de décès

French civil status documents come in several forms - copie intégrale, extrait avec filiation, extrait sans filiation, extrait plurilingue - and Georgian authorities generally want the copie intégrale or the extrait avec filiation, apostilled by the Cour d'appel, translated and notarized here. They are needed for marriage registration in Georgia, for adding a spouse or child to a residence permit, for inheritance and for divorce proceedings. In the other direction, Georgian birth, marriage and death certificates go to French mairies for marriage and PACS, to the consulate for transcription of a Georgian marriage into French registers, to OFII for family reunification and to French notaires for successions; these are apostilled and translated into French, and the translation is often apostilled too. Belgian and Swiss civil status extracts follow the same pattern with their own apostille authorities. Every translation mirrors the original field by field, including marginal notes (mentions marginales), which French registrars check.

Casier judiciaire and Georgian conviction certificates

Georgian temporary residence permits require a criminal record check from the applicant's country. For French citizens that is the bulletin n°3 of the casier judiciaire, obtained online and apostilled by the Cour d'appel; for Belgians the extrait de casier judiciaire from the commune, apostilled by the SPF Affaires étrangères; for Swiss the extrait du casier judiciaire from the federal office, apostilled by the cantonal chancellery. We translate these into Georgian and notarize them in 1-2 hours. Georgians applying for French visas, titres de séjour, naturalization or certain jobs need their Georgian conviction certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs apostilled and translated into French. These certificates have short validity, so we treat them as express work.

Certificat de célibat, certificat de coutume and marriage abroad

A Georgian marrying in France needs a certificat de célibat (marital status certificate from the Public Service Development Agency) and, at many mairies, a certificat de coutume explaining Georgian marriage law, both apostilled and translated into French; the mairie also wants the acte de naissance less than six months old. A French citizen marrying in Georgia needs a certificat de capacité à mariage or a certificat de célibat from the French consulate or mairie, translated into Georgian and notarized. We prepare both sets and know the sequence and validity windows, which are the usual source of delays. After a marriage in Georgia, the French spouse typically asks for the Georgian marriage certificate apostilled and translated for transcription at the consulate, which we include in the same order.

Child travel consents, residence certificates 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 French and Belgian border authorities ask for an autorisation de sortie du territoire in comparable cases. We draft bilingual consents at our notary with an interpreter and translate consents issued in France for use at Georgian borders and schools. Certificates of residence, attestations de domicile and justificatifs de domicile (utility bills, attestations d'hébergement) are requested by Georgian banks and by the Revenue Service for tax residency, and Georgian residence certificates are translated into French for French tax and social security purposes.

Bank statements, attestations and proof of income, and how to order

Residence permits, property purchases and Georgian mortgages require proof of income; French consular visas and préfectures ask Georgians for the same. We translate relevés de compte from BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Crédit Agricole, La Banque Postale, Belgian and Swiss banks into Georgian, and Georgian statements from TBC, Bank of Georgia and Liberty into French in a layout French administrations recognize, along with attestations d'employeur, bulletins de salaire, avis d'imposition, pension statements and CAF attestations. 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, in French if you prefer. 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.
