Missed Georgia's April 1, 2026 Company Re-Registration Deadline? What to Do Now
TK Counsel editorial ยท 1 April 2026
The April 1, 2026 deadline for many legacy Georgian companies to bring their registration data into compliance with the current Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs has passed.
The important current point is that suspension is not necessarily the end of the entity. On 4 June 2026, the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) stated that business entities whose registration was suspended from April 1 may restore their status by bringing their registration data into compliance by April 1, 2027.
Which entities were covered
NAPR stated that the compliance requirement applied to the following enterprises registered before January 1, 2022:
- limited liability companies (LLCs);
- joint stock companies (JSCs);
- general partnerships;
- limited partnerships;
- cooperatives; and
- branches of foreign enterprises.
NAPR also stated that the requirement does not apply to individual entrepreneurs or non-entrepreneurial (non-commercial) legal entities.
What suspension means
According to NAPR's June 2026 guidance, after suspension the persons with representative authority are restricted from exercising that authority, and the business entity is restricted from activities including:
- updating its registry extract;
- disposing of property;
- participating in tax-related operations;
- managing or opening bank accounts;
- disposing of funds held in bank accounts; and
- obtaining loans.
Those restrictions can have immediate operational consequences, so an affected entity should not treat the issue as a routine housekeeping update.
How an affected entity can restore status
NAPR says an authorised person, using the appropriate registration documents, may apply through:
- a Public Service Hall;
- a territorial office of NAPR;
- an authorised NAPR service provider; or
- the remote government portal at my.gov.ge.
The documents needed depend on the entity's current registered data, governing documents, and what must be brought into conformity.
Check the registry before taking other corporate steps
If a company was registered before January 1, 2022 and its compliance status is uncertain, check the current registry position before attempting bank changes, property transactions, tax operations, governance changes, or new financing.
