🌍 What Is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a certificate issued by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) that verifies your document’s authenticity for use in countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention.

It proves that a notarized, public, or government document is recognized and legitimate internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions Before You Submit?
We’ve answered some of the most common Apostille concerns:

What is the apostille process in Georgia and how long does it take?

The apostille process in Georgia involves preparing your document, submitting it to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA), and receiving a certification that makes the document valid for international use. Standard processing takes 5–7 business days, but expedited options are available.

How fast can I get an apostille?

Turnaround time is typically 5–7 business days. Expedited and overnight options are available for eligible documents — ask us when submitting your request.

What’s the difference between an apostille and regular notarization in Georgia?

Notarization verifies a signature for domestic legal use. An apostille adds international validation to your notarized or public document, so it’s accepted abroad.

How do I get an apostille in Georgia for my birth certificate, diploma, or legal documents?

To get an apostille in Georgia, simply upload or drop off your original birth certificate, diploma, or other eligible document. We’ll handle submission to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) on your behalf.

Can I apostille documents issued outside of Georgia or the U.S.?

Yes. We handle apostille requests for out-of-state documents and some U.S. federal documents. We can guide you through the proper process based on where the document was issued and its destination country.

Do I need to mail my original document, or can I upload it online?

Many documents require the original, especially for birth/marriage certificates or court records. We’ll confirm after reviewing your submission.

Is the Apostille issued by the Georgia Secretary of State?

No — in Georgia, Apostilles are issued by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA), not the Secretary of State.
Elite Notary Signing manages the official submission process on your behalf to ensure compliance, accuracy, and speed.
