Apostille confirms origin, not content
It confirms the authenticity of the signature, the authority of the signatory and the authenticity of the seal or stamp. The applicability of an apostille depends on the country, type and origin of the document.
- documents of administrative bodies;
- court documents;
- notarial acts;
- documents of medical institutions;
- educational documents;
- acceptable official copies and translations.
- passports and identity cards;
- driver's and car documents;
- documents of private companies;
- checks and certain commercial documents;
- some notarized copies and translations;
- documents issued outside of Georgia.
This is a guideline and not a final decision on the document. Admissibility is confirmed according to current rules and the original.

Used between countries where the Apostille Convention applies. Usually replaces a longer chain of consular legalization.

Detailed answers
Translation, certification, apostille and legalization
The exact procedure is always determined by the document, country of origin and place of presentation.
What is a notarized translation?
Depending on the procedure, the notary certifies the translation of the document or the authenticity of the translator's signature. The appropriate form is selected according to the type of document and the requirements of the presentation authority.
Does an apostille confirm the correctness of the contents of a document?
No. An apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature, the authority of the signatory and, if present, the authenticity of the seal or stamp. It does not confirm the truth of the information contained in the document.
How does an apostille differ from legalization?
Apostille is used in relations between states where the Apostille Convention applies. For other countries, multi-step legalization and additional confirmation by a foreign consulate may be required.
What to do first - translation or apostille?
There is no single rule for all documents. The sequence depends on the country, the type of document and the requirements of the recipient. First we check the route, then we begin the translation or confirmation.
Is it possible to put a Georgian apostille on a foreign document?
As a rule, an apostille is issued by the competent authority of the state of origin of the document. Georgia then checks the requirements for recognition and translation of the foreign document. Exceptions may follow from international agreements.
Is it possible to put an apostille on every document?
No. Official rules define the list of acceptable and excluded documents. For example, certain private documents, identification documents and some notarized copies or translations may not be apostilled in the selected form.
Is it possible to apostille a passport or driver's license?
Official rules contain restrictions on ID cards, driver's licenses and vehicle registration documents. We check a specific document and a possible alternative route.
Is an apostille required to use a document in Georgia?
For a foreign document, the procedure depends on the country of issue, international agreements and the type of document. An apostille or legalization may be required in the country of origin and then translation for Georgia.
Is it possible to translate an electronic document?
Yes, but the possibility of its subsequent notarization or electronic apostille depends on the method of issue, electronic signature and availability of authentication.
Who can submit a document for an apostille in Georgia?
According to the State Service Development Agency, any interested person can apply. For our service, we check the document in advance and agree on the method of submission.
Is it possible to do everything remotely?
Preliminary verification, calculation, translation and approval are usually possible remotely. The transfer of the original, notarial act or state filing is organized according to the requirements of the chosen route.
Is urgent service possible?
Yes, there are expedited procedures, but the time available depends on the document, authority, translation and completeness of the data. After checking, we will inform you about the fastest realistic option.
How to avoid spelling your name differently?
Send a passport or other document with the required Latin transliteration and indicate how the name is already indicated in the related documents. This is checked before the translation is ready.
How much will the full package cost?
After checking the number of pages, language, country and required stages, we will agree on the composition of the service, the duration and one final cost of the package + VAT.
Official sources
Information on the use of apostille, legalization, acceptable documents and the procedure for notarization was verified using official materials from government bodies of Georgia.
An apostille or legalization is performed by an authorized body, and a notarial act is performed by a notary. YURFIRMA checks the route, organizes translation and coordinates the agreed stages. The final acceptance of the document depends on the requirements of the presenting authority.
