Do you need to obtain an apostille on a Georgia Diploma in Atlanta?
If you are going abroad to continue your studies or work, and have completed education in the United States (school, college, university, etc.), your US-issued diplomas must be apostilled to become valid for use in another country.
If you have completed studies in Georgia and received a diploma from a Georgia school, your diploma will receive a Georgia apostille.
How can I get an apostille on my Georgia-issued Diploma in Atlanta?
Your first step should be to contact your school’s Registrar’s Office and request an original or a certified copy of your diploma.
If your school is not able to provide you with an original Diploma, you should request one of the following:
1 – You can request that a notary public (it can be a school commissioned notary public or a mobile notary public that comes to school) makes a copy of your original Diploma. In Georgia, any Georgia notary public can make a certified copy of an original diploma. The notary public will make a copy of your diploma and state that it is a true and correct copy on the photocopy of your Diploma. The copy must also contain a notary public affidavit.
2 - An alternative to a notary making a certified copy of your diploma is to have the document custodian (person who is in possession of the document) make a photocopy and sign the “Copy Certification by Document Custodian” affidavit in presence of a Georgia notary.
Once you receive a notarized copy of your Georgia Diploma, please review it carefully and make sure that your document bears the original signature and the printed name of the Registrar, the notary’s name, notary’s signature, date of notarization, notarial affidavit, and seal. If your Diploma has all the required attributes, you can mail your document to our Atlanta office for Georgia apostille processing.
Obtaining an apostille on a Diploma is a complicated process and should always be handled by professionals only. Remember that trusting your important documents to incompetent people unfamiliar with the specifics of each country, may lead you to extra expenses, and delays of your important business by weeks, or even months. Complicated matters must be handled by experts, and that’s why we recommend that you trust Global Apostille to take care of processing an apostille on your Georgia Diploma in Atlanta.
