Decree N212 of the Government of Georgia establishes the rules and procedures for granting the status of parent with many children. The Public Services Development Agency of the Ministry of Justice will implement this service.
Based on a government decree, individuals must submit an application for status determination to any Public Service Hall, territorial office of the Public Service Development Agency, or Community Center. Any individual with many children who meets the relevant legal criteria will be able to request a free status determination.
It is worth noting that until now there has been no unified set of rules or responsible body for determining such status.
According to the decree, the status of parent with many children will be established for the following categories:
Citizens of Georgia or stateless persons who have 4 or more biological or adoptive children.
There are no age limits for determining the number of children in this category. The status can be applied to both minor and adult children;
A person who has the status of the parent with many children can simultaneously be both parents – the mother and father.
The determination of the status of parents with many children is carried out free of charge and a decision is made within 30 calendar days of receipt of the application.
