Remote Company Registration in Georgia by Power of Attorney

A founder does not necessarily need to perform every Georgian company-registration step personally.

The National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) expressly addresses registration through a representative and states that the document confirming representative authority—a power of attorney—must be notarised or executed with a signature compliant with Georgia's law on electronic documents and trust services.

That makes a properly prepared POA a practical tool for remote formation. It does not mean that every later corporate, tax or banking step is automatically delegated.

What NAPR says about representative authority

For business registration, NAPR states that representative authority must be evidenced by:

• a notarised document; or
• a document whose signature is executed in accordance with the Georgian law on electronic documents and electronic trust services.

The scope of the authority should match the act the representative is expected to perform.

For a document executed outside Georgia, confirm in advance what authentication, apostille/legalisation and translation steps the Georgian receiving authority will require for that specific document and issuing country.

The founding documents are separate from the POA

For establishment of an entrepreneurial company, NAPR states that the filing includes a founding agreement containing the statute.

The founders may:

• prepare their own statute; or
• use the standard statute approved for the relevant legal form.

NAPR publishes sample founding agreements for LLCs and other legal forms.

The required founding documents and signatures still have to comply with the registration rules even where a representative submits the filing.

A Georgian legal address is part of the registration framework

NAPR's current guidance describes an entrepreneur's legal address as a physical address in Georgia.

Depending on the circumstances, the registering authority may require the property owner's properly certified consent or another document establishing the right to use the property.

A POA does not remove the need for a valid legal-address basis.

Management and portal information also matter

NAPR's registration framework includes information about persons authorised to manage and represent the company and the entity's electronic portal.

The company structure should therefore be decided before the POA and founding documents are finalised: founders, managers, representation rules, address and statute should tell one consistent story.

Banking is a separate process

Registration of the company does not guarantee opening a Georgian bank account.

Banks apply their own statutory KYC/AML controls, including customer and beneficial-owner identification, activity and risk assessment, and requests for additional information.

Whether any banking step can be completed remotely depends on the bank and the actual customer file. It should not be promised as part of the registry process.

A practical remote-formation sequence

For a founder outside Georgia:

1. choose the legal form and governance structure;
2. confirm the Georgian legal-address basis;
3. prepare the founding agreement/statute;
4. define the exact authority required under the POA;
5. confirm certification/authentication and translation requirements before signing abroad;
6. submit the business-registration filing through the authorised representative; and
7. handle tax registration, operational compliance and bank onboarding as separate workstreams where required.
