How to Apostille a Document in Georgia

Whether you’re dealing with personal, corporate, or educational documents, we make the process smooth and stress-free.

Why Apostille Your Document?

Essential for International Recognition of U.S. Documents

An apostille is an official certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document issued in the United States for use in another country that is a member of the 1961 Hague Convention. Without an apostille, your documents may be rejected abroad. Apostilling your documents ensures they are legally accepted in over 120 countries, saving you time, money, and unnecessary delays.

What Documents Can Be Apostilled in Georgia?

Common Georgia-Issued Documents That Require Apostilles

In Georgia, the following types of documents can be apostilled:

  • Birth and death certificates.
  • Marriage certificates
  • Divorce decrees
  • Educational transcripts and diplomas
  • Notarized documents (affidavits, powers of attorney)
  • Business documents (articles of incorporation, bylaws, agreements)
  • Court records and background checks

Note: All documents must either be issued by a Georgia state agency or properly notarized by a Georgia notary public.

Apostille vs. Certificate of Authentication

Know the Difference: International vs. Non-Hague Countries

While both apostilles and certificates of authentication verify the legitimacy of U.S. documents, they serve different legal purposes:

  • Apostille is used for countries that are part of the Hague Convention. It’s a single-step process.
  • Certificate of Authentication is used for non-Hague countries and typically requires further legalization through embassies or consulates.

Note: Our team helps determine which certification your documents need based on the destination country.
