Where do I get the Georgia Apostille Form?

You must use the form from the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA). Do not send apostille requests to the Secretary of State.

How much does a Georgia apostille cost?

$3.00 per document. This is one of the most affordable fees in the US.

Who issues Georgia apostilles?

The GSCCCA issues all apostilles (for Hague countries). The Secretary of State ONLY issues 'Great Seal Certifications' for non-Hague countries.

A Unique Georgia Rule: GSCCCA vs. SOS

Don't Mail to the Wrong Office!

In Georgia, Apostilles (for Hague countries like France, Mexico, UK) are issued by the GSCCCA (Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority).

Only "Great Seal Certifications" (for non-Hague countries like China, UAE) go to the Secretary of State.

95% of requests go to the GSCCCA. If you send an apostille request to the Secretary of State, it may be returned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Secretary of State say they do apostilles?

Technically, the GSCCCA manages the notary database FOR the state. But for apostilles, the GSCCCA is the designated authority. The SOS handles certifications for non-Hague countries.

How fast is the turnaround?

Very fast. Walk-ins are done while you wait. Mail is often processed in 1-2 business days.
