An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of legal documents for use in another country.
You will need an apostille if the country where you intend to use your document is on the 1961 Hague Convention member list. The Convention facilitates recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) is the only state agency authorized to issue apostilles for certified publicly recorded documents originating in the State of Georgia for use abroad.

A certification of notary public, also called a certificate of authority, certifies that the notary public holds, or held, a notary commission during a particular term of office (not used in conjunction with an apostille).
Notarized documents must be submitted to the notary's commissioning county.
