The Service: Legalisation as the Alternative to an Apostille
When a foreign document must be used in Georgia for a notarial act or any other official purpose, its cross-border force has to be confirmed. Article 55 of the Georgian Law on Notarial Practice states it without embellishment: the notary accepts a document issued in another state if it is legalised or certified by an apostille, in the manner established by Georgian legislation. Which route extends to a particular country is determined by the legislation — and where the apostille mechanism does not apply, the route is the chain of consular legalisation. Planning and carrying that chain through is exactly what the Legal.ge team does.
The service on this page unites both directions: preparing a document issued abroad for use on the Georgian side, and applying the rules that give consulates and diplomatic missions the power to perform notarial acts. Both directions rest on the same law and are described precisely below.
