How Georgia residents get federal documents apostilled — and how that differs from Georgia state documents handled by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA).
Quick answer
There’s no federal apostille counter in Georgia — or anywhere outside Washington, D.C. Federal documents from Georgia residents are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. Georgia state documents go to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) in Atlanta.
