How do you use the my.gov.ge portal and get an electronic signature?
The unified e-services portal and the electronic signature.
Short answer
Georgia's unified e-services portal gives online access to public services, and a citizen gets a qualified electronic signature with the electronic ID card issued by the Public Service Development Agency. The card holds certificates, keys and PIN codes for online login and signing. How foreigners get a signature needs to be confirmed.
Why
- The Law on the Digital Governance Agency (Article 4) defines my.gov.ge as a web resource giving natural and legal persons access to electronic services.
- The Agency runs the portal, connects the services of other bodies to it and provides through it electronic access to services of the Ministry of Justice system, including Public Service Halls (Article 6).
- The electronic ID card holds the data for online authentication and electronic signature, and the card is available to citizens of Georgia.
Details
A citizen of Georgia aged 14 or older must obtain the card within 6 months, and this does not apply to citizens living abroad. The fee depends on the term: GEL 60 for 10 working days, 80 for 5, 100 for 3, 120 for 2 and 150 on the same day, and photos cost GEL 5 (as of the check date, 10 November 2026). You can apply at an Agency territorial office, at a Public Service Hall or remotely through the Agency's service.
Qualified electronic stamp certificates for organisations are issued on smart cards at Houses of Justice and the Agency's territorial offices. For more about the card, read what piradoba is and where the series and number are in a Georgian passport.
Tip
If you are a foreigner, first ask the Public Service Development Agency (+995 32 2 40 10 10, [email protected]) which signature option is available to you: the described procedure applies to citizens.
What may differ
Access to a signature depends on citizenship and status. Fees and terms at the Agency may change, and the list of services on the portal keeps growing.
Common misconception
You can get an electronic signature in Georgia online in a couple of minutes.
What actually happens
A citizen's qualified electronic signature is stored on the electronic ID card, which is issued by the Public Service Development Agency or at a Public Service Hall.
