One notarized document — a power of attorney — lets Tbilisi Home purchase, register and manage property in your name, while the money moves only between you and the seller. Here is exactly how it works, with a free template our notaries already accept.
I, (your name) … grant to NINO CHAGUNAVA (hereinafter “Attorney”) the following authority: to purchase in my name and register on my name any real estate located in Georgia…
The Power of Attorney is issued for 1 (one) year.
A power of attorney (POA) is a document in which you name a person you trust to act for you. Ours names Nino Chagunava, licensed founder of Tbilisi Home. It covers real estate matters only — nothing else.
Sign the purchase agreement for the property you chose, and register it in your name at Georgia's Public Registry. The title deed shows your name, not ours.
Appear before the notary and the registry, agree the contract terms you approved, and complete every form — in Georgian, so nothing is lost in translation.
Put the utilities — gas, electricity, water, internet — in your name, so the apartment is ready to rent from day one. If we manage it, we can also sign leases and insurance.
Georgia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. That means a document notarized in your country and stamped with an apostille is fully valid here — no embassy visits, no flights.
Print the template below and fill in the blank lines with your details, exactly as they appear in your passport.
Bring your passport and sign in front of the notary. Your notary may use your country's standard certification wording — only the “Power of Attorney” section must stay exactly as written.
An apostille is a certificate attached to your notarized document that makes it valid in Georgia. It is issued in the same country where you signed — in the UK by the FCDO Legalisation Office, in the US by your state's Secretary of State, in most of Europe by the Ministry of Justice or Foreign Affairs. Your notary will know the office.
We check the scan before you courier the original — so a small mistake never costs you a second apostille fee.
In Tbilisi, the document is translated into Georgian and the translation is notarized — we arrange this for you. From that moment we can act for you, and we send you every contract to approve before it is signed.
Then it is even simpler — the whole document is prepared and notarized at a notary office here in about an hour.
Certified translator present — we arrange the appointment and sit with you
No apostille needed — it is a Georgian document from the start
Notary fee around 30–50 GEL
The power of attorney itself is the same everywhere — but the apostille office, the cost and the timing depend on where you sign. Choose where you will sign, and we give you the matching template and the exact steps. Visiting Tbilisi? You can sign it here before you leave — no apostille needed at all.
Yes — and it is the easiest way. If you are visiting Tbilisi, the whole document is prepared and notarized at a notary office here in about an hour, with a certified translator present. We book the appointment around your travel dates and sit with you. No apostille is needed at all, because it is a Georgian document from the start. Many clients sign it on the last day of their visit, so we can act for them after they fly home.
It is a serious document, and you should treat it that way — that is why ours is limited on purpose. It covers real estate, contracts and utilities in Georgia only. It is valid for one year. You can cancel it at any time through any notary. And the purchase money never touches our hands: you pay the seller directly from your own bank account, and the property is registered in your name from the first day.
An apostille is a standard certificate, created by the Hague Convention of 1961, that countries use to trust each other's official documents. Your notary makes the document valid in your country; the apostille makes it valid in Georgia. Without it, Georgian notaries and the Public Registry cannot accept a foreign document.
A few countries — for example the UAE, Qatar and Egypt — are not members. Then the document is legalized instead: first by the relevant ministry in your country, then by the Georgian embassy or consulate there. It takes a little longer but works just as well. Write to us and we will guide you step by step.
Usually not. Georgia has legal agreements with Russia, Belarus and the other CIS countries (Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and more), so a document notarized there is accepted with only a notarized Georgian translation, which we arrange in Tbilisi.
The template and our checking of your document are free. You pay your local notary's fee and the apostille fee — together usually somewhere between $50 and $150, depending on the country. In Georgia, the notarized translation is a small additional cost that we arrange for you.
Most clients finish the notary and apostille in one to two weeks, depending on their country. The courier to Tbilisi adds a few days. If you are in a hurry, send us the scan first — we can prepare everything else while the original travels.
Yes, at any time, through any notary — in Georgia or in your country. It also expires by itself one year after signing.
That is up to you. Many owners keep the POA active for the year so we can set up utilities, sign the lease with a tenant, and hand the keys to our property management team. Owners under management follow everything from their own owner portal.
Tell us your country and what you want to buy, and we will send you the exact steps for your situation — which office issues your apostille, what it costs, and how long it takes.
