The Georgia Secretary of State issues an Apostille for the signatures of the following: county clerks and their deputies, county recorders and their deputies, and the State Registrar which is Georgia Department of Public Health. You can request your original birth certificate directly from the State of Georgia Department of Public Health in person or by mail.
Please note that birth records are only available from Georgia Department of Public Health Vital Records after they have been recorded by the County Recorder's Office. Because of the delays resulting from this process, Vital Records recommends that birth certificate certified copies be requested from the County Health Department or the County Recorder's Office for the first 3 months after the event. Once you obtain an original or a certified copy of your Georgia birth certificate, you can mail it to our office for apostille processing.
