More Georgia apostille tips:
Publicly recorded documents must be official certified copies with the signature and seal of the issuing Georgia state or county official. These documents are never notarized.
Georgia notarized documents (examples: powers of attorney, affidavits, corporate documents, translations, diplomas or school transcripts, etc.): the notary public MUST complete a notarial certificate (i.e. notary language block that identifies the type of notarial act performed) and sign by hand in ink, exactly the name indicated on the notary’s commission.
Your document may be in a foreign language. However, the notarial statement must be in English.
