Tajik-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - For Tajikistan's Students, Families, Engineers and Development Partners

Tajik and Georgian: students, hydropower, mountains and a shared Persian thread

Tajikistan's connection to Georgia is smaller than its neighbors' but growing along the same lines. Tajik students study medicine, dentistry, engineering, IT and international relations in Tbilisi and Kutaisi, drawn by accredited programs in Russian and English and by visa-free entry; Tajik families visit and occasionally settle; Tajik engineers and officials meet Georgian ones through the hydropower sector - Tajikistan's Rogun and Nurek and Georgia's Enguri and the smaller plants face the same questions of dams, grids and seasonal water - and through the development programs of the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the EU and bilateral donors that fund reforms in both countries and move experts between them. Georgian construction, consulting and IT companies work on Tajik projects, Georgian wine and mineral water reach Dushanbe, and Tajik dried fruit, cotton and aluminum move west. A thread that surprises people: Tajik is Persian written in Cyrillic, and our Persian team reads and checks the older and literary vocabulary of Tajik documents that a purely Russian-trained translator misses.

Tajikistan's documents have three features that shape every file. The language is Cyrillic Tajik, with Russian still used on many official documents and bilingual forms common, and older documents entirely in Russian. Tajikistan joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2015, replacing consular legalization, and its apostilles are issued by different ministries depending on the document. And Tajikistan's authorities are exacting about form, seals and the completeness of translations. Georgia has the notarized translation. Our Tajik team at David Agmashenebeli Ave 117 - Georgian sworn translators for Tajik and Russian, native Tajik editors and the Persian team behind them - connects the systems.

Translation directions, Cyrillic Tajik and Russian

• Georgian → Tajik or Russian: Georgian diplomas and transcripts for recognition in Tajikistan, birth, marriage and death certificates, conviction certificates, court decisions, Public Registry extracts, medical records and contracts leaving Georgia for Tajikistan. Notarized in Tbilisi and apostilled. Most Tajik offices accept Russian; the Ministry of Education and Science and ZAGS offices increasingly prefer Tajik; we advise per file and often deliver both.
• Tajik → Georgian: passports (шиноснома) and identity documents, driving licenses, birth certificates (шаҳодатномаи таваллуд), marriage certificates (шаҳодатномаи ақди никоҳ), school certificates (аттестат / шаҳодатнома дар бораи маълумоти миёна), diplomas, certificates of no criminal record, military documents, medical certificates, company documents, powers of attorney and bank statements entering the Georgian system, always notarized in Georgia. Passports and driving licenses are translated from a photo without a visit.
• Tajik ↔ Persian and English: for documents that travel between Tajikistan and Iran or Afghanistan, and for university admissions.

Our translators read Cyrillic Tajik and Russian, and translate bilingual documents from both columns, noting any difference. Tajik names are transliterated into Georgian by consistent rules aligned with the passport's Latin spelling, with the patronymic or the newer Persian-style name forms (many Tajiks have dropped the Russian -ов/-ова endings under the 2007 and 2020 name rules, so a parent's and a child's surnames may differ in form) preserved as written and explained in a note where a Georgian office compares documents.

Ordering from Tbilisi, from Tajikistan or from anywhere in Georgia

Students and families in Tbilisi send a photo on WhatsApp or Telegram for a quote within 15 minutes and bring the original to Agmashenebeli 117, near Marjanishvili Metro, where the translation is notarized while they wait. Passports and driving licenses are translated from the photo alone and delivered by courier, without a visit. Families in Dushanbe, Khujand, Bokhtar or Kulob who need a Georgian document usually have it with a student or relative in Georgia; we collect it, translate, notarize, apostille and hand it over or ship it by courier, which reaches Tajikistan in four to six days. Students in Kutaisi and Batumi send originals by courier and receive the finished documents back while our regional offices are being renovated. Enquiries are answered in Tajik, Russian or English.
