Apostille for Georgia
Got an MD admission letter from a university in Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi? Most Indian students heading to Georgia are medical aspirants, and the university and Georgia’s Public Service Hall want their school documents authenticated. Georgia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2007 (in force from 14 May 2007), so the authentication is the MEA apostille – no Georgian consular stamp. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Georgia in Delhi, usually well before the September intake.

apostille
Apostille for Georgia, in one line: your 10th and 12th marksheets are verified by the school board or state education department, your birth certificate by the home department or SDM, and then the Ministry of External Affairs puts its QR apostille on each. Georgian universities and the Public Service Hall accept that apostille directly; the Embassy of Georgia does not add anything after it.
Georgia embassy attestation is not required – the apostille for Georgia replaces it
Agents sometimes still quote for “Georgia embassy attestation”. Since Georgia acceded to the Apostille Convention in 2007 – after India – documents from India are authenticated by the MEA apostille alone. No objection was raised between the two countries, so the apostille is fully valid.
The hold-up for most students is not the apostille but the board verification of the 12th marksheet, which some state boards take a week or more to complete. We start that step the day your scans arrive.

When an apostille for Georgia is needed

Georgian translation – done after the apostille
Georgian universities generally read English documents for admission. For the residence permit and other state services, documents are translated into Georgian and the translation is notarised in Georgia – this is normally arranged by the university or an agent in Tbilisi once the apostilled originals arrive.
If you need an English translation of a Hindi-language birth certificate first, we prepare it. See our birth certificate translation.
SampleApostille for Georgia sample – what Georgian universities look at
Admission officers in Tbilisi check the apostille for Georgia for the issuing country, the Indian officer whose seal is certified, the date and the certificate number – and can scan the QR code to confirm it with the MEA. On a 12th marksheet, the stamp above the sticker comes from the board or state education department rather than the notary shown here. Personal data is blurred.

FeesApostille for Georgia – fees
Documents that need no earlier attestation – most often the Passport Seva PCC – are filed at the MEA directly for the QR apostille.
A sponsor’s affidavit of financial support, or any declaration the university asks for, is notarised and SDM-attested in Delhi and then apostilled.
Board verification of 10th and 12th marksheets differs from state to state, so it is quoted after we see which board issued them. Send the admission letter on WhatsApp for a complete price for your Georgia file.
Tip for medical students: keep two sets of clear colour scans of every apostilled document. Georgian universities often ask for uploads before arrival and the originals again at registration.
