Indian documents for use in Georgia are apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs, after verification by the state government or education board where required. Georgian degrees, transcripts and certificates for use in India are apostilled through the Public Service Hall in Georgia. Both countries are Apostille Convention parties, so no embassy legalisation is needed.

Apostille & Attestation from Georgia: how it works
Before departure, we arrange apostilles for school certificates, birth certificates, police clearance and other Indian documents, obtaining state verification first where the MEA requires it.
On return, we advise on apostilling Georgian degrees, transcripts and internship certificates, and on the documents the National Medical Commission and screening authorities ask for. Where documents have errors, we help get them corrected at the source.
We also apostille Indian marriage and birth certificates for families living in Georgia.
If your Georgian degree is in Georgian only, the university can usually issue an English version or certified translation, which should also be apostilled for the National Medical Commission.
What clients in Georgia should know
- Start the Indian apostille process well before departure.
