Consent requirements in Georgia

It is illegal under Georgia’s wiretapping and eavesdropping statutes to record an oral or telephone conversation without the consent of at least one party. Violations are felonies and can subject the offender to fines and/or imprisonment.

Best practices for compliant recording

• Play a clear consent message at the start of every recorded call.
• Document consent capture in your CRM record.
• Retain recordings only for the period required by regulation or policy.
• Restrict access to recordings to authorised personnel.
