Country List Hague 
Español
Georgia is a member of the Hague Convention, having joined the organization in 2001 and since then acceded to several of its specific conventions. This membership means that U.S. documents intended for use in Georgia must receive an apostille to be officially recognized.
An apostille is a certification that authenticates the origin of a U.S. public document for use in Hague Convention member countries. When U.S. documents are needed for official purposes in Georgia, they must first be apostilled by the appropriate U.S. authority to confirm their authenticity and legal validity.
When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Georgia
U.S. documents are required in Georgia when they are to be used in official capacities, such as for legal proceedings, business, or for private institutions in Georgia.
Because Georgia is a member of the Hague Convention, official documents that need to be legalized for use in Georgia require an apostille certificate from the issuing U.S. authority, rather than the more complex process of diplomatic authentication.
For short stays, a valid U.S. passport is required, valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area and with at least one blank page. A visa is generally not required for stays under 90 days within a 180-day period. Travelers may be asked to show proof of accommodation, sufficient financial means, and a return ticket.
For long stays, such as residency, study, or work, a long-stay visa is required. Supporting documents will depend on the purpose of your stay. Many official documents, such as birth, marriage, death,corporate documents, affidavits, passports or educational certificates, diplomas, transcripts, must have an apostille to be legally recognized in Georgia. Documents may also need to be officially translated.
