Permit processing is a full administrative cycle: from the written application to the permit certificate. This page covers the accompanying documents, the participating bodies, the timelines, the grounds for refusal and the moment the permitted action may begin.
The Application and Required Documentation
A permit seeker submits a written application to the issuing authority; the submission, examination, and acceptance into proceeding follow the procedure established by the General Administrative Code — apart from the exceptional cases provided for by law. The application must satisfy the requirements provided for by the General Administrative Code and must indicate which type of permit the seeker requests, together with a list of the attached documents.
The application must be accompanied by extracts from the public registry for private-law legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, by copies of identification documents established by Georgian legislation for natural persons, and by certified copies of founding documents for public-law legal entities. Proof of payment of the permit fee must also be attached, except for the exceptional cases provided for by law and where the seeker is a ministry or a state subordinated institution.
The fee, its payment into the budget and the refund of any overpayment are determined by the law on license and permit fees. Additional documents may be prescribed only by law; additional permit conditions from the specifics of the activity are determined by law or, on its basis, by a Government normative act or a decision of a municipal representative body.
