Is my marriage in Georgia still valid in the UAE?
Dear Sir/Madam,
We got married in Georgia in February 2020. However, we were unable to register our marriage in the UAE because the lockdown started due to COVID-19 when we returned.
The copy of our marriage certificate (with UAE stamp) was misplaced/lost. We have not yet registered our marriage. Is it still valid?
Are we considered legally married?

Good day,
Hope all is well!
The validity of a marriage certificate depends on the type of transaction.
For example, if you are sponsoring a residency, you can use a copy of your marriage certificate, but it must be attested by the relevant authority.

Hello,
If you have not registered your marriage with UAE officials, then it won't be valid.
Can you issue a replacement for the lost/misplaced one?
