Apostille of documents in Georgia

An apostille on a document in 8, 4 or 2 days or in 1 day. The turnaround sets the state fee; the price of the work depends on the document.

For Minsk Convention countries an apostille may not be needed

If the document is for use in a country that is party to the Minsk Convention, notarisation may be enough instead of an apostille. Check with the partner for the specific destination country.

Frequently asked questions

How does an apostille differ from consular legalisation?
The apostille is the simplified procedure for countries that joined the 1961 Hague Convention: one stamp, and the document is recognised in every member state. Consular legalisation is a longer multi-step procedure for countries outside that convention, and an apostille doesn't replace it.
Is an apostille needed for CIS countries?
No. Parties to the Minsk Convention on legal assistance accept documents with an ordinary notarised translation, without an apostille or consular legalisation.
Does the apostille price include translating the document?
No, translation is paid separately. As a rule the apostille goes on the original document in its source language.
Do I have to be in Georgia in person?
The original document must physically be in Georgia when it's filed — that's mandatory. The applicant doesn't need to attend once the document is with us; for powers of attorney and corporate documents the representative's exact details are needed in advance.
