WHAT IS AN AUTHENTICATION?

If you need to send documents to non-Hague countries outside the United States, they will need to be authenticated according to the requirements set forth by the State of Georgia, otherwise known as the Georgia authentication (Great Seal) process.  The authentication process differs by country, and certifying a document can require multiple visits to various government departments, each having a different processing time.  US passports and more!

The process of determining the authenticity of a seal, stamp, signature or other official mark on a document to be used for some purpose internationally, such as adoption, business purposes or to obtain visas, etc. This process, which can have from three to five steps, is determined by the country of origin, the country where the document is to be used and the type document being processed.

The authentication or legalization process starts at the originating location of the document. Processes and fees vary based on the type of document being legalized, state, county or city of origination of the document, and the country for which the document is being prepared. 

It is not possible to give detail cost for legalization of a document until the work is submitted. Since the processes have between three and five steps, many in different cities, a copy of the document must be submitted for a quote on the charges. All charges are subject to change without notice. The costs are determined by these criteria:

1. The document origination location.
2. Time allowed to process.
3. Type of document.
4. Government fees and shipping cost between processing points.

​LEGALIZATION

The process of confirming the legality of a document which is to be used for some purpose overseas.
