Apostille and document legalisation for Georgia
Foreign documents – powers of attorney, registry extracts, diplomas – are recognised in Georgia if they are properly certified and translated.
What it is about
If the document comes from a Hague Convention country (e.g. Germany, France), an apostille from the competent authority in the issuing country is sufficient. Other countries require legalisation through consular authorities.
In Georgia the document is then translated into Georgian and the translation is notarised. Georgian documents for use abroad receive their apostille in Georgia.

Questions about this service
How old may documents be?
The receiving body decides; banks often require recent extracts.
Do I need an apostille for Georgian documents?
Only if you use them abroad. We can help with that.
Is a translation made abroad accepted?
The Georgian translation is usually made in Georgia and notarised there. We clarify the form with the receiving body in advance.
