Consular legalization in Georgia: how it differs from an apostille

When is this service needed?

We will build a document route through authorized bodies, translation and consulate, taking into account the requirements of a specific country.

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

• checking country requirements
• identity chain plan
• translation coordination
• submission and receipt to the relevant authorities

What information will you need?

• original document
• country and authority of presentation
• Consulate requirements
• applicant's passport or power of attorney

Procedure

• Send a readable scan of the document and indicate the country and authority of presentation.
• We will determine the language, form of certification and the need for an apostille or legalization.
• We will agree on the spelling of names, the deadline and the set of documents.
• We will carry out the translation and organize notarization in the applicable form.

What to check before signing

• The procedure is different from an apostille.
• Consulates are changing requirements and admission rules.
• Skipping one step makes subsequent certification impossible.

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.
