Documents Georgia can apostille

Georgia vital records (official certified copies)
Georgia court documents (official certified copies)
Georgia Corporations Division documents
Georgia notarized documents (e.g., powers of attorney, affidavits, corporate documents, translations, diploma copies, school transcripts)

The issuing state is what matters, not where you live now. A document issued or notarized in another state goes to that state's office, and documents from federal agencies go to the U.S. Department of State through our federal apostille service.

Georgia requirements to check before you book

Notarized documents do not need county clerk certification before the apostille.Source
Vital records and court documents must be official certified copies with the issuing official's signature and seal; GSCCCA recommends a new certified copy for documents issued before 2000.Source
Notarized documents need the exact notarization date, a signature matching the commission, and a clear seal showing the notary's name, county, and state.Source
School transcripts must be signed by a school official before a notary; only Georgia school documents can be apostilled in Georgia.Source
Documents for non-Hague countries go to the Georgia Secretary of State for Great Seal Certification; mail requests need a cover letter naming the country.Source

Good to know

Apostilles are issued by GSCCCA, not the Secretary of State; the Secretary of State issues only Great Seal Certifications for non-Hague countries.
Translation is not required before apostille; a translator's affidavit can be notarized, but the notary cannot be the translator.
FBI background checks go to the U.S. Department of State; GBI and local police checks need an official's notarized signature or a notarized affidavit.
Photocopies are not accepted unless certified as copies by a Georgia notary.

Common questions

How much does a Georgia apostille cost through Trilogy?

Our Georgia apostille service starts at $348 per document. That price includes the Georgia government fee of $3 per document, plus courier filing, return shipping, and handling. Sales tax, if it applies, and any deposit are shown at checkout before you pay.

Who issues apostilles in Georgia?

The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). Trilogy Notary Services is a private document services company: we prepare and submit your request and track it, but the apostille itself is issued by the state office.

What does Georgia require before it will apostille a document?

Notarized documents do not need county clerk certification before the apostille. Vital records and court documents must be official certified copies with the issuing official's signature and seal; GSCCCA recommends a new certified copy for documents issued before 2000. We check for these before anything is filed.

Can Georgia apostille an FBI background check or another federal document?

No. Documents issued and signed by a federal agency, such as an FBI background check, are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority. We handle those through our federal apostille service.

What if my destination country is not in the Hague Apostille Convention?

For non-Hague countries, Georgia issues this instead of a standard apostille: Great Seal Certification (issued by the Georgia Secretary of State, not GSCCCA). Many non-Hague countries then require embassy or consulate legalization, which we handle through our embassy legalization service. Tell us the destination country when you book.

How long does a Georgia apostille take?

As published by the state when we checked on October 29, 2026: Walk-in: typically less than twenty minutes. Mail: normally one to two business days. Add time for document preparation and shipping both ways. Government processing times change and are outside our control, so we don't promise a delivery date.
