How to correct an error in a certificate or vital record in Georgia

When is this service needed?

We will compare the erroneous and correct entries, collect confirmation and determine the body that has the right to make the change.

First, the legal purpose of the document is determined, then the language, form of the certificate and the requirements of the presentation authority. This procedure helps to avoid repeated translation or new notarization.

What is included in the preparation

• table of erroneous and correct data
• basis for correction
• list of evidence
• application and documentary route

What information will you need?

• applicant's passport
• certificate with error
• documents with correct data
• archived records or decisions

Procedure

• Send us the purpose of the document, the details of the participants and the country of presentation.
• We will check the document form, powers, translation and legalization requirements.
• We will agree on the finished text and arrange a visit to the notary.
• After signing, we will submit the document for translation, apostille or legalization, if required.

What to check before signing

• Different documents may contain different variations of the name.
• Some changes require a trial rather than a simple declaration.
• After correction, it may be necessary to replace the associated documents.

Frequently asked questions

• Is it possible to arrange everything remotely? — We usually carry out preparation and testing remotely. Personal presence is required if a signature or act is to be performed before a notary.
• Do you need an apostille? — This depends on the country, the type of document and the requirements of the receiving authority. We check this before processing begins.
• Will the template work without verification? — The template helps to collect data, but the final text always needs to be tailored to the specific purpose and requirements of the presenting authority.
