Document apostille and legalization in Georgia
Apostille, consular legalization, certified translation and notarization of documents.
We coordinate the apostille or consular legalization of your foreign documents, arrange certified Georgian translations, and handle notarization — everything needed for your documents to be accepted by Georgian authorities, banks and registries.
Apostille, legalization and translation: how it works
Georgian authorities accept foreign public documents once their origin is certified. In countries party to the Hague Apostille Convention, a government office issues an apostille; elsewhere, the document goes through consular legalization. Every foreign document is then translated into Georgian by a certified translator, and the translation is notarized.
Common documents: birth and marriage certificates, educational diplomas, criminal record checks, corporate extracts and powers of attorney. We coordinate the process from both ends: instructions to you or a local agent for the apostille abroad, and translation and notarization in Georgia. The timeline depends on your country; we advise on the fastest route.
