Foreign Company Branch Registration: Documents

Answer first

Foreign Company Branch Registration

Foreign-company branch and representative-office setup in Georgia: registration documents, authorised person, address, activity and ongoing compliance.

Before acting, verify the legal basis, deadline and consistency of the documents. This guide is a preparation framework, not an individual legal opinion.

Step-by-step process

1. Define the branch or office purpose and authority limits
2. Check the foreign company’s current status and records
3. Prepare apostille/legalisation, Georgian translation and address evidence
4. Register the unit and plan banking, tax, employment and licensing work

Required-document checklist

• Foreign company extract and constitutional documents
• Corporate resolution approving the branch or office
• Authority for the manager or representative
• Basis for the Georgian registered address
• Apostille/legalisation, Georgian translation and activity description

Authorities, translation and representation

The specific procedure determines the authority, personal-appearance requirement, power of attorney, notarisation, certified translation, apostille or legalisation. A foreign document should be assessed under both its country of origin and the receiving authority's rules.

Key risks and common mistakes

• Expired or improperly authenticated foreign documents
• Authority wording that is too broad or too narrow
• Ignoring the tax consequences of the branch’s activity
• Missing real staffing, office or licensing requirements
