FCDO Document Legalisation Process
For documents intended for use in Georgia, the process is straightforward:
- Apostille at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO):
The first step in the legalisation process is to submit your document to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in the UK to obtain an Apostille. The Apostille is an internationally recognised certificate that verifies the authenticity of the document’s signature, seal, or stamp. As Georgia is a member of the Hague Convention, the Apostille is sufficient for the document to be legally recognised for use in Georgia.
2. No Further Attestation Required:
Since Georgia is a signatory of the Hague Convention, no further legalisation steps, such as consular attestation or embassy verification, are necessary. Once your document has been apostilled by the FCDO, it is automatically recognised by Georgian authorities and ready for use.
Fees
The fee for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is £40 per document. This fee applies to all types of documents, whether personal documents (e.g., birth, marriage, or death certificates) or business-related documents (e.g., contracts, powers of attorney, company registration documents).
Please note that this fee is exclusive of VAT, and additional charges may apply for expedited processing or special courier services.
Processing Times
The standard processing time for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is typically 48 hours. This fast processing time ensures that your documents are ready to be used in Georgia quickly. If you require faster service, expedited processing options may be available for an additional fee.
