# Application for Payment Order Issuance

## Introduction and Service Overview

Traditional litigation is often associated with lengthy procedures, high financial costs, and bureaucracy. When it comes to simple monetary claims (such as an unpaid loan, apartment rent, utility bills, or a specific amount arising from a contract) against which the debtor likely has no substantiated objection, going through a standard court process is inefficient. That is precisely why Georgian legislation offers a unique and fast alternative—simplified proceedings. The application for the issuance of a payment order is the first and main stage of simplified proceedings, which is carried out through the National Bureau of Enforcement rather than in court. This service allows the creditor to obtain an enforceable document in the shortest possible time and with minimal costs.

Simplified proceedings are built on written communication between the parties and do not require oral hearings or attendance at court sessions. Obtaining a payment order gives the creditor the same legal power as a court decision and opens the way to direct forced enforcement (property seizure, auction).

### What if the debtor objects to the simplified proceeding?

If the debtor submits a formal written objection within the 10-day period, the simplified proceeding is immediately terminated. You will then have to file a regular lawsuit in a civil court to recover the debt.

### Are notary-certified documents required?

No. For simplified proceedings, any written evidence confirming the monetary obligation is sufficient. This includes simple handwritten receipts, invoices, or standard signed contracts.

### How long does the whole process take?

If the debtor does not object, the entire process from submitting the application to receiving the binding payment order typically takes about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the speed of delivering the notification to the debtor.
