Three Issuing Agencies by Document Type
Georgia's apostille-issuing agency is confirmed to be split by document type. The Public Service Development Agency (PSDA, under the Ministry of Justice) is the basic issuing agency for general documents, the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement (NCEQE) handles educational documents, and the Service Agency under the Ministry of Internal Affairs handles its own documents. Electronic apostilles are confirmed to be available through the online portals my.gov.ge, apostille.cra.ge, and sa.gov.ge/apostile.
Fees & Translation (per HCCH Competent Authority Listing)
A standard apostille costs 30 Georgian Lari (GEL, 8 business days), with expedited service at 60/120/150 GEL (4 days/2 days/same day), and the state fee for an educational-document apostille is confirmed to be 20 GEL. PSDA also offers its own translation service (30 GEL per page), but whether a separate certified-translator registration system exists needs confirmation.
