A birth certificate in Georgia (also known as a certificate, metric, birth document, or statement) can initially be obtained from the civil registry offices (ЗАГС) in Georgia at the place of birth. When it comes to the original or primary birth certificate from Georgia, it is obtained through a special procedure — using a certificate from the maternity hospital.
If it’s about obtaining a duplicate of the birth certificate, it can be issued on a special form at the civil registry office at the place of birth.
A duplicate of the birth certificate can be obtained at the House of Justice in Georgia. The House of Justice is a kind of multifunctional Unified Document Center in Georgia.
The birth certificate contains the name and surname of the newborn, as well as the names of the father and mother. The parents’ patronymics are not written in the metric. The certificate also does not contain information about the nationality of either the newborn or their parents. To obtain information about nationality, it is necessary to request a different type of document, which in Georgia is often called a birth certificate indicating nationality. This document will include the nationality of the applicant.
