What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an international certification that verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another country that participates in the Hague Convention.

If the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, the document may require authentication or consular legalization instead. We review your destination country requirements to confirm the correct processing path.

Our role is document coordination and apostille facilitation. We do not provide legal advice.

Apostille FAQs

What is an apostille, and when do I need one?

An apostille is an official certification that makes your documents valid for use in other countries. You will typically need one for birth certificates, marriage licenses, passports, powers of attorney, and other legal records when dealing with international matters like school, adoption, business, or immigration.

What types of documents can receive an apostille?

We process a wide range of documents, including school transcripts and diplomas, birth, marriage, and death certificates, business and legal records, court documents, passports and ID copies with notarization, powers of attorney, FBI reports, and more.

How fast can I get a Georgia apostille?

We offer same day or next day apostille processing in Atlanta, depending on the document type. Mail in clients typically receive results within 1 to 3 business days after we receive the original paperwork. Turnaround times may vary based on state requirements, delivery method, and when we receive the documents.

Who issues apostilles in Georgia

It depends on your document. Court issued documents often go through the Clerk of Court first, while notarized documents are certified by the Georgia Secretary of State. We help route your documents to the correct authority so you do not have to figure it out on your own. 

What is the difference between an apostille and a notary?

A notary confirms your identity and signature on a document. An apostille certifies the notary’s signature or government official’s seal so the document can be used outside the United States.

Can I get an apostille without visiting a government office?

Yes. ENS manages the entire process on your behalf, no need to visit the courthouse or government agency. We handle document prep, certification, and delivery through the proper Georgia authority, so you do not have to.

What if my destination country is not a part of the Hague Convention?

We handle authentication and embassy legalization for non-Hague countries. While the process is different, we take care of every step to ensure your documents are processed accurately and on time. 

I live outside the United States. Can I still use your service?

Yes. We regularly process documents written in languages other than English. However, you may need to provide a certified English translation depending on the country of use. We will let you know what is required after reviewing your request.

Do my documents need to be notarized before getting an apostille?

It depends on the type of document. Some documents, like birth and death certificates issued by the state, do not require notarization before an apostille. Others, such as powers of attorney, affidavits, and school transcripts, do need to be properly notarized first.

If you're unsure, we’ll review your documents and let you know whether notarization is required before submitting them for apostille. Our team ensures the right steps are taken so your documents are accepted without delay.

Is an apostille the same as authentication?

No. An apostille is used for countries that recognize the 1961 Hague Convention. Authentication is used for countries that are not part of this agreement and may require additional steps. If your destination country requires authentication, we’ll guide you through that process.

How fast can I get an apostille in Georgia?

The timeline for a Georgia apostille depends on three factors: where the document was issued, whether it requires state or federal authentication, and which processing tier you select.

For Georgia-issued documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, notarized powers of attorney, court orders, or corporate filings, most requests move within a few business days once eligibility is confirmed and the document is compliant.

If your request is time-sensitive, Elite Notary Signing offers structured Fast Apostille Processing in Georgia with Standard, Priority, and Rush options designed around confirmed deadlines.

Priority handling includes same-day intake review during business hours and front-of-queue placement.

Rush apostille processing in Georgia includes immediate intake review, next-available submission scheduling attempt, and active deadline communication. Rush capacity is limited daily to protect submission accuracy.

Federal apostilles, such as FBI background checks processed through the U.S. Department of State, follow separate timelines and require additional coordination.

The most important factor in speed is document readiness. Incorrect notarial wording, missing certifications, or incomplete signatures can delay submission.

If you have a confirmed travel date, immigration filing, or corporate deadline, confirm your timeline directly before assuming processing speed.
