Consular and embassy legalization

If your document will be used in a country that is not party to the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is not enough. The document must go through consular legalization: a chain of certifications ending at the embassy or consulate of the destination country.

The exact chain depends on the document and on the destination country. It usually includes a notary or the issuing authority, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia and then the embassy or consulate of the destination country. Some embassies also require a translation into their official language at a specific stage.

We know these routes and handle the submissions, appointments and follow-up for you. For documents that must be legalized in another country before they reach Georgia, our international offices can take care of the steps abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Apostille or consular legalization — which do I need?

It depends only on the destination country. If it is party to the Apostille Convention, an apostille is enough. If not, consular legalization is required. Tell us the country and we will confirm.

Why does consular legalization take longer?

Because several authorities are involved one after another, and each embassy has its own processing times and rules. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote.

Do I need to be present at the embassy?

Usually not. Most embassy legalizations can be handled by us on your behalf. If personal presence is required, we tell you in advance.
