Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page is marked "(unverified)" — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

- **Jurisdiction:** Georgia, United States
- **Verified as of:** August 9, 2026

## Who issues the apostille

- **court documents:** certified copy from the county Clerk of Superior Court
- **notarized documents:** must be properly notarized under Georgia law by a GA notary
- **school documents:** follow GSCCCA school-document instructions (notarized copies) — https://www.gsccca.org/docs/notary-documents/schoolinstructions.pdf
- **driver's license/MVR:** https://www.gsccca.org/docs/notary-documents/gadlormvrinstructions.pdf

## Certifications you may need first

No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

## The request form

A PDF request form. Download: https://www.gsccca.org/docs/notary-documents/apostillerequestform.pdf

## Requesting online

Online is for PAYMENT only: you prepay there, then the documents themselves are mailed or brought in. Portal: https://apps.gsccca.org/AuthenticationPrePayment/ Online system is payment-voucher only

## Where to go in person

- **Atlanta** — 1875 Century Blvd., Ste. 100, Atlanta, GA 30345 Open for walk-in service. Hours: Mon–Fri 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Same-day service is offered. No appointment necessary, same-day (while-you-wait); drop box outside suite also available. Walk-in service was temporarily suspended Apr. 16–Jul. 1, 2026; resumed Jul. 1, 2026 per GSCCCA notice

## What it costs

- **$3.00 USD** per document — Applies to: apostille — Apostille "$3.00 per document"
- **$2.00 USD** per document — Applies to: Certification of Notary Public — "$2.00 per document"

## How to pay

- **By mail:** check or money order
- **In person:** cash, check, money order, or card payment
- **Online:** prepayment through the online portal
- The payee name is not published — confirm the payee on the official request form before you write a check.
- "Cash, personal/company check (pre-printed name/address), money order, credit card; online Credit Card Pre-Payment Voucher System (apps.gsccca.org/AuthenticationPrePayment/)" — channel split not itemized in source; payee string not published

## How long it takes

- **By mail:** Mail: "normally one to two business days" after receipt
- **In person:** Walk-in: "typically takes less than twenty minutes"
- No expedited tier

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- No public verification register is published for this office. That is not the same as an apostille being unverifiable — ask the office how it confirms one.

## Remote online notarization

- Remote online notarization is not permitted here. That is an attested no, not a gap in the source.
- **Legal basis:** No statute authorizes RON; O.C.G.A. § 45-17-8.1(a) requires the notary to sign the notarial certificate "by hand in ink," read to preclude electronic/remote notarization
- **Registration:** N/A (no RON program)
- **How the signer is identified:** In-person rules only — personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence (government-issued photo ID, passport, permanent resident card) or credible witness(es) (O.C.G.A. § 45-17-8(e))
- **Standard notarial act cap:** $2.00 USD
- No maximum fee is recorded here for a remote act. A missing cap is not the same as "no cap" — the reason is in the notes below.
- **From the source:** Pending: HB 289 (2025–26, "remote online notaries public and remote online notarizations") — House Committee favorably reported by substitute Mar. 6, 2026; no enactment found as of Aug. 9, 2026 (unverified final disposition). Max standard fee $2.00 per notarial act (administering an oath $2.00; each attendance to make proof and certifying same $2.00; every other certificate $2.00) — O.C.G.A. § 45-17-11; fee must be disclosed in advance; charging fees optional. Georgia Dept. of Revenue accepts out-of-state remote notarizations for its filings (ADMIN-2025-03) — does not authorize GA notaries to perform RON
