Official rules cover documents from the Ministry of Education and its system as well as educational institutions acting within their authority.
Education timing
SDA lists: 8th working day — GEL 30, 4th — GEL 60, within 2 working days — GEL 120. No same-day option is listed for this category.
Diploma translation
Foreign universities and employers often require translation of the diploma and transcript. SDA lists GEL 30 per page for translation.
What to check
Confirm whether the diploma, transcript or both must be apostilled, whether electronic format is accepted and what translation language is required.
Frequently asked questions

Is same-day available?
The official page lists 8th, 4th and 2-working-day options, but not same-day for education documents.
Should the transcript also be apostilled?
It depends on the university or employer; many ask for both.
