Renewing a Georgian passport abroad: three ways

If you have held a biometric passport before, you can renew it from abroad: online, through an authorised representative in Georgia, or at a consulate. Times and fees differ by route.

1. Online: if you have had a biometric passport before, you apply online; the passport is ready in 2 working days and sent to the address you give. Fee: GEL 300.
2. Through a representative: a person in Georgia with a notarised power of attorney can apply at a Public Service Hall or territorial office. Fee: GEL 230 (10th working day) or GEL 300 (5th working day).
3. At a consulate: the passport is ready within 45 days of applying. The Public Service Development Agency lists the fee as USD 50; individual consulates charge in local currency — the Georgian Embassy in Germany, for example, lists EUR 48.79.
4. Consular services usually require an appointment (geoconsul.gov.ge) and you must appear in person. Each embassy's page explains how to pay.
5. If a still-valid passport was lost, you need a police report; if your surname changed, an apostilled marriage or name-change certificate with a certified translation.
6. Adult passports are valid for 10 years.
