Vehicle Documents and Power of Attorney in Georgia: real experience from chats

Short answer
If you drive a car not registered in your name without the owner present, you must provide a notarized power of attorney explicitly granting permission for international travel, translated into English or Georgian. If the owner is traveling with you, a standard vehicle registration document (STS) is sufficient.

From real experience

When driving a car into Georgia that is not registered in your name (e.g., owned by a parent), it is highly recommended to have a formally issued power of attorney (доверенность).
Without this document, you may face issues at the border crossing. Ensure all vehicle registration and personal identification documents are in order to facilitate a smooth entry.
