🇬🇪How to verify a supplier in Georgia
To verify a supplier in Georgia, look the company up for free in the official National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), Register of Entrepreneurs and Non-Entrepreneurial Legal Entities and confirm it is registered and currently active. The registry returns the public register returns the registration application and the registrar's decisions for any business entity, including extracts, so a buyer can see the registered name, the identification number and the documents behind a change.
The official registry
- Registry
- National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), Register of Entrepreneurs and Non-Entrepreneurial Legal Entities
- Company ID
- identification number (9 digits) issued by the NAPR
- Cost
- Free basic lookup
- Active status
- An active Georgian company has a current registration extract in the NAPR; ask for the extract and compare its identification number and name with what the supplier wrote on the invoice.
- Search in Georgian, or by number. The register states plainly that the language of administrative proceedings is Georgian, so a name typed in Latin letters may find nothing while the identification number always works. Checked live 2026-08-05 (200).
- Georgia is outside the EU, so VIES does not apply; the tax identity sits with the Revenue Service (rs.ge).
Before you sign: five asks no registry can answer
The register proves the company exists and who signs. It says nothing about whether the supplier survives a bad quarter, a fire or a key person leaving. Serious suppliers answer these five asks without friction; hesitation on any of them is information too.
- Business continuity: what happens to your order if their plant loses power, a strike hits or their systems go down? Ask for the plan, not a reassurance.
- Liability insurance: is product or professional liability insured, with which insurer and to what ceiling? A certificate of insurance is a one-page email for a real firm.
- Exit terms: how do you terminate if it goes wrong, what notice and fees apply, and how do you get your tooling, molds or data back?
- Support in numbers: ask for response and resolution times as figures, not adjectives. A supplier who commits to hours in writing has a support process; one who writes fast support does not.
- Named people: who exactly runs production and who owns your account? Continuity of a named team matters more than a polished sales deck, and employee-review sites often show whether that team stays.
General commercial hygiene, not legal advice.
Verify it in four steps
- 1
Open the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), Register of Entrepreneurs and Non-Entrepreneurial Legal Entities
National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), Register of Entrepreneurs and Non-Entrepreneurial Legal Entities is the official government record of companies in Georgia. Basic name or number search is free.
- 2
Search the exact legal name or ID
Search the supplier's registered name or its identification number (9 digits) issued by the NAPR. If the name does not match cleanly, treat it as a red flag, it may be a trade name, a different entity, or wrong.
- 3
Confirm it is active, not struck off
An active Georgian company has a current registration extract in the NAPR; ask for the extract and compare its identification number and name with what the supplier wrote on the invoice.

Check it makes what it sells
A real factory carries a manufacturing activity code and a consistent trade history; a middleman reselling everything is the most common mismatch.
This is a factual pointer to public records, not legal advice. For the full method, see the 7 checks that separate a real supplier from a scam.

How do I know a Georgia supplier is a real manufacturer, not a reseller?
The registry's activity code is the tell: a manufacturing code means a real maker, a wholesale or retail code means a trader. Search in Georgian, or by number. The register states plainly that the language of administrative proceedings is Georgian, so a name typed in Latin letters may find nothing while the identification number always works.
