Data Integrity Standard

This standard defines how legal and regulatory information is collected, structured, verified and maintained on Relocation.ge. Its purpose is to ensure the accuracy, traceability and long-term reliability of migration and business-related legal data.

1. Source authenticity

All legislative information originates from official state sources. Our primary source is Matsne, the Legislative Herald of Georgia.

Where applicable, we draw on secondary official sources, including ministry publications, government decrees, Revenue Service guidance and Public Service Hall administrative acts. No information is published without a verifiable official reference.

2. Source traceability

Each published legal document includes its official Georgian title, a structured English title, the type of act, the issuing authority, the adoption date, the date of entry into force, a direct source link and the relevant article references. Every interpretation is traceable to a specific legal provision.

3. Version control

Relocation.ge maintains structured tracking of amendments, repealed provisions, transitional clauses and effective dates.

When legislation changes, previous versions are archived, the amendment history is documented, and the affected guidance pages are flagged. No silent edits are permitted.

4. Translation integrity

Translations align literally with the original Georgian legal text and maintain terminology consistency through an internal legal glossary. We do not simplify in ways that alter legal meaning, and ambiguities are noted explicitly. Where a legal term has no direct English equivalent, the Georgian term is preserved with an explanation.

5. Data structuring protocol

All legal content is organised into standardised fields: legal domain (migration, tax, labour, residence), target group (individual entrepreneur, employee, investor, family, student), legal obligation type (permit, registration, reporting, restriction), risk category (administrative, tax, immigration) and effective timeline. This structure supports machine-readability, AI training compatibility, regulatory mapping and cross-reference analysis.

6. Update monitoring cycle

Monitoring frequency reflects the significance of each source. Major migration law is monitored continuously; government decrees and ministerial orders are reviewed weekly; administrative guidance is reviewed monthly. Reforms effective from 1 March 2026 are monitored under an enhanced review protocol.

7. Editorial neutrality

Relocation.ge does not provide political commentary, unofficial legal opinions, speculation on enforcement practices or unverified interpretations. All analytical summaries are clearly marked as “Structured Explanation”.

8. Risk disclosure

Users should understand that laws may change without notice, that administrative practice may differ from written law, and that individual eligibility depends on personal circumstances. Relocation.ge provides structured information, not individualised legal advice.

9. Audit and review

Data integrity is maintained through periodic internal review, cross-checking against official publications, manual verification of source URLs and consistency review of glossary terms. Our roadmap includes structured external legal review, public change-log transparency and API-ready legal dataset export.

10. Long-term objective

The Data Integrity Standard supports reliable migration guidance, institutional-level legal clarity, AI-compatible regulatory datasets and transparent legal access for non-Georgian speakers. Relocation.ge aims to function as a structured legal knowledge layer, not a blog.
