The Civil Registry Agency, at a service hall
A change of name in Georgia is made through the Civil Registry Agency under the Ministry of Justice, at a Public Service Hall, and Georgia's administrative services are unusually fast — the change and the reissued documents follow quickly.
The agency records the change against the birth act and issues documents under the new name. A certificate of the change and the reissued birth certificate are separate documents.
Mkhedruli has no capital letters
Georgian is written in its own Mkhedruli alphabet, which has no upper and lower case. A name that appears uncapitalised in the original is not informal, and we do not invent capitalisation to make it resemble a US record.
Romanisation is not standardised in practice, so ღ, ყ, წ and ჭ are rendered several ways and one name may appear as Gvantsa, Gvanca and Ghvantsa. We follow the passport and note the variants.
Surname endings carry regional information
Georgian surnames end in -dze, -shvili, -iani, -ava, -ua and others, each associated with a region — a reader can place a family from the ending. They are part of the surname and not detachable suffixes.
Soviet-era documents may render a Georgian surname through Russian, adding or dropping letters, so one person appears as Beridze and Beridzе with different final vowels across documents. That is a rendering difference and we say so.
The personal number, and Soviet records
The eleven-digit personal number does not change with a name and is the reliable identifier across a Georgian packet.
Births registered before 1991 were recorded under Soviet administration and a modern Georgian certificate restates that entry. We name the original registering authority alongside the current issuing office. See our Georgian page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, so the reader can see that the change was recorded against the original entry rather than written into a fresh document. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
