Rules for Birth Certificate
Use the Correct Document
You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the Georgia Department of Public Health, State Office of Vital Records. It must have the original raised seal and signature from the State Registrar.
No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)
You should NOT have your certified Georgia birth certificate notarized. The apostille is placed directly on the certified vital record itself, authenticating the signature of the State Registrar. Submitting a notarized copy will result in rejection.
Ensure the Document is Original and Unaltered
The certified copy must be in its original condition. Do not staple, tape, or hole-punch the document. The raised seal and signature must be completely visible and intact.
Complete the Request Form
You must include a completed "Apostille / Authentication Request Form" with your submission. This form provides your contact information and details for the apostille.
Include Payment and Return Shipping
Submit the correct fee (check or money order payable to "Georgia Secretary of State") and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
