We got to the MREO, stood in line for about 40 minutes and checked the VIN code.Additionally, they talk about the year of manufacture of the car and transit numbers are created here. We left the car in the parking lot and ran back to the MREO. You take a ticket, take a queue at the checkout, then pay the fee.The seller cancelled the transport tax and fine. With the issued coupons, they went to the registration department. Waiting and registration resulted in about 30 minutes. Then I got the documents. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that there is an invoice, a document on the passage of the border. A new number - a sticker must be glued to the place of the numbers.Now you can pay off the seller. There were no special problems with the documentation.

It is better to make these expenses in advance so that there are no surprises.

Accepted Answer

In order to obtain a driver&#x27;s license in Georgia, you must first register for the theoretical exam. You can do this  through tbcpay.ge by selecting MIA Service Agency services. Next, you choose the city in which you want to take the exam. There are about 10 cities where you can take the exam, Tbilisi is not on the list. If you are lucky, you can choose the nearest examination centre - Rustavi, otherwise you will have to choose the one where there are vacant places.It is possible to prepare for the test:- independently on the website teoria.on.ge;- in Russian-language groups for 150 GEL (20 lessons);- individually with an instructor (via Skype) for 200 GEL (9 lessons).After passing the test you need:Get health certificate (psyho form 100). You can do it in any clinic for 25-30 GEL.Make notarized translation of your passport into Georgian (about 15 GEL).Now about the practical part. You will have to do it on the ground, the test in the city will be added in the middle of April (for extra fee). It is important to find a knowledgeable instructor to prepare for the site in the particular city you choose (the cost of 30 GEL for 45 minutes).Proven instructors for theoretical and practical training can be found in the directory MADLOBA.There are 6 elements: flyover, figure of eight, snake, parallel parking, garage and dead-end. Sequence in different items is different. Some elements are called differently in the exam.On the day of taking it is better to arrive one hour in advance and pass the registration (don&#x27;t forget to check the number on the medical certificate so that it coincides with the passport). Then come to the exam at the appointed time (6 people in the room). You are given 30 minutes to solve the problem and you can make only 3 mistakes.After theory you need to go to the line for practice. If you drive a car with a manual gearbox you can take the exam free of charge, if you drive an automatic car you have to pay 41 GEL additionally at the ticket office.When you get into the car an instructor will check your personality and ask you if you are ready to start. Then a robot turns on and says what element you have to do. The instructor will not say another word, do not try to talk to him. If you pass successfully, it is sounded that the element passed, if not, you are either removed from the points or disqualified.When you enter the garage, do not expect anything. They will say that the element is passed only after you leave the garage. So it&#x27;s up to you to figure out that you&#x27;re sure you&#x27;re there correctly. When passing by the garage, leave such a distance between you that would fit another car, too far from the garage do not drive away, too can disqualify.When you pass, the instructor congratulates. When not, you can ask what was wrong. On the same day you can use the second attempt (automatic - 72 GEL, manual - 31 GEL). Or 4 more times at any other place, once a week mechanics - for free, automatic - 41 GEL. Then you can return to the place where you were registered and get driving license immediately (for 51 GEL) or for free in 5 working days. The license is issued for 15 years.If you faced any other nuances and difficulties while preparing, taking exam or directly getting the license, tell us about it in comments.

Question 10

Who has the right to leave Georgia for Russia by car with Russian numbers: peculiarities of leaving Georgia, terms of stay abroad.

Accepted Answer

In order to drive on the territory of Georgia in someone else&#x27;s car with Russian license plates, you only need a power of attorney from the owner, which you can easily get from a notary. It is also possible to get a temporary registration. It takes a couple of hours to make, costs 120 GEL, and allows one to drive in Georgia for three years. But there have been some changes in the law in recent times, and in addition to the 120 GEL, you will need to deposit the full amount of the car&#x27;s customs clearance with the bank. The bank must provide a letter of guarantee, for which a considerable sum must be paid to the bank, depending on the term of the pledge... But the conditions with collateral are for foreigners with residence permit or those with a second citizenship.There are also some nuances on the terms of the car abroad:- if the person who will be driving the car has Georgian citizenship, the time limit for the car is 60 days;- If it is a foreigner or two citizenship - 90 days.You can contact a lawyer for more detailed and qualified help.
