The National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) must be able to clearly identify foreign founders, applicants, and representatives based on their personal documents. A valid passport can serve as proof of identity. Depending on the document type, additional foreign documents may require separate proof of authenticity. Whether an apostille or legalization is required depends on the applicable international agreements and the requirements for the specific document. Personal documents in a foreign language may also need to be translated into Georgian. Names, document numbers, and other identifying details must be clearly reproduced in the translation. Their spelling should match the registry application, founding documents, and any power of attorney. An apostille or legalization does not certify the content of a translation, so proof of authenticity and linguistic translation must be assessed separately. Before submission, it is advisable to compare each document’s original, proof of authenticity, translation, and all personal details used.
Foreign identity documents for NAPR registration when establishing a company in Georgia
Foreign founders must provide suitable identity documents for NAPR registration in Georgia and clarify any requirements for proof of authenticity and translation. The evidence required depends on the document type and the applicable international agreements.
Tip
Foreign personal documents should be prepared individually according to their identification function, proof-of-authenticity requirements, and translation needs. A valid passport can be used for identification, while additional documents may require further certification. Apostille or legalization and Georgian translation serve different purposes and must be assessed separately.
