Driving from Russia to Georgia: Requirements in Georgia: real experience from chats

Short answer
Prepare all travel documents and insurance in advance, and cross the border during early morning or late evening to avoid long queues. When traveling with a child, carry their birth certificate with a citizenship seal as a necessary safeguard, especially if surnames differ.

From real experience

For individuals driving to Georgia from Russia (e.g., Krasnodar), it's recommended to prepare necessary documents and insurance in advance.
Consider purchasing insurance online before arrival or at the border. Research border crossing procedures and timing to avoid long queues; drivers suggest crossing early morning or late evening, avoiding peak hours around 9 AM due to potential delays.

When traveling with a child to Georgia, it is highly recommended to carry the child's birth certificate, preferably with the red seal confirming Russian citizenship.
While entry to Georgia is primarily via international passport, Russian border control and unpredictable border guard discretion make the birth certificate a necessary safeguard, especially if the parent and child have different surnames.
