Notarized in Georgia: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Georgia, the apostille is issued by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) in Atlanta.
- Hague Convention destination: the Georgia apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Georgia-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) directly. Once your document has its Georgia authentication, we handle the U.S. Department of State and embassy steps for non-Hague destinations ($399).
Get the notarial wording right before signing — requirements vary by destination, and a mistake means redoing the whole chain.
