Atlanta Apostille Services for Georgia & All 50 States

​

An apostille is an international certification that authenticates the origin of a document—such as the signature or seal—not its contents. Similar to domestic notarization, it certifies the authenticity of the signature or seal so the document will be accepted by a foreign government.

This process is governed by the Hague Apostille Convention, an international treaty that allows member countries to accept each other’s documents without further legalization. An apostille is valid in any country that belongs to the Convention. For countries that are not members, documents require a different process called embassy or consulate legalization, and we can advise you on exactly which path your destination country requires. 

What type of documents require an apostille?
We handle both public and private documents, ensuring they meet all international requirements.

Public Documents:
Birth, marriage, and death certificates; diplomas and transcripts; and state-issued corporate records such as Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization, Certificates of Good Standing, and Amendments.

Private Documents: 
Powers of Attorney, Single Status Affidavits, Prenuptial Agreements, minor consent and travel authorization forms, corporate resolutions, and other self-signed documents. Note: These are notarized first, and the apostille then authenticates the notary’s signature.

Certified Copies: 
We also certify copies of passports, bank statements, and proof of address, which frequently require an apostille.

Where is the apostille issued?
Apostilles are issued in the state where the document originates. Even if your document originates outside of Georgia, we can handle the entire process for you. Whether you need to apostille a New York Birth Certificate, a California Divorce Decree, a Florida Marriage Certificate, or corporate documents registered in Delaware, Wyoming, Texas, or any other state, we've got you covered.
We can also request current certified copies directly from the Secretaries of State on your behalf for Delaware, Texas, Wyoming, Georgia, Mississippi, California, and all remaining states.

Federal documents require authentication by the U.S. Department of State. This includes FDA certificates, FBI background checks, U.S. Certificates of Naturalization, and various other documents issued by federal agencies.
