Can I Enter Georgia With an ID Card?
If you are an EU citizen, yes — a qualifying national ID card can be enough to enter Georgia. Travellers from other countries should check their own document rules.
SHORT ANSWER
EU citizens can use an ID card.
Georgia’s official rules allow citizens of EU member states to enter with an EU-issued identity card containing the holder’s name, surname, date of birth and photograph.
EU TRAVELLERS
Passport or national ID card
The Georgian government explicitly states that EU citizens may enter with either a travel document or an identity card issued by an EU member state, as long as the card contains the required personal details and photo.
This is particularly useful for travellers from countries such as Poland, Italy, Germany, France and Spain.
