Officials say Antisa Khvichava, who lives in a remote mountain village, will be 130 on July 8.
The Georgian authorities have petitioned the Guinness Book of Records to include her as the oldest person.
"Antisa Khvichava was born in the 19th century, and she is amazing," said Giorgi Vashadze, head of Georgia's Civil Registry Agency.
"We have the necessary documents to prove it."
The authorities have Ms Khvichava's Soviet-era passport registration, which shows her date of birth, and her pension book issued in the 1960s.
Although she was born in 1880, the pensioner only retired in 1965.
She was shown on TV two days ago - on International Women's Day - being congratulated by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and enjoying a glass of wine.
The matriarch, a resident of the Tsalenjikhi region, remains in good health, according to reports, and still plays backgammon and drinks vodka.
If Mrs Khvichava is accepted for the Guinness Book of Records, she will take the title from a 114-year-old who lives in Japan.

Fair play to her I say!

No, that was 40 years ago when the crack was 90.

That's impressive. She had her mid-life crisis at her retiring age.

Crazy, but damn cool!

Although, I think in years to come we will see a lot more people living beyond 100.

That region has many people with exceptionally long lives. I saw a programme on Armenia and there were many people living to over 100 in the 19th century there.

Oh wait, this is AH. I know a black, Polish, racist taxi driver thats older.

**** me, id say its bad enough to be turning 40 and losing hair and getting a belly and such, never mind feckin 130 years old.

I don't want to be around that long unless I get a hovercar, but back in the eighties it was pretty much promised that I'd have one by now.

And a big silver robot that can do fry ups.

You'd be bordering on necrophilia at this stage.

If that doesn't get post of the day it will be a travesty.

Death missed his window, dont be surprised if she lives forever.

LarrytheLantern

She's only 83, but because she's lived all those years in that arse of a country, she feels like 130!

Anyhow who wants to reach 130?
The person who's 129 I reckon.

and this children is why retirement ages will be up at 90 by the time most of us retire. If a good amount of people start living to that age they will have been drawing pensions for longer than they were working which isnt sustainable.

It reminded me of St.Padre Pio, one time when it was his birthday his fellow monks stood up and gave a toast and said ''to padre pio, may he live to be a hundred'' and Padre Pio said ''what did I ever do to you?''

I fukkin doubt it man, she probably so dry that she make a perfect environment for storing precious artefacts, you know manuscripts and the like, to avoid them oxidising or getting damp.

We should stash the Book of Kells up there, so we could preserve for furture generations to enjoy.

I really would not like to be around that long well not in this country anyway, I should not worry with the HSE Im sure none of us will last that long,
