A UK Degree for Georgia: What You Actually Need

如果您需要在海外使用 Birkbeck, University of London 伦敦大学伯贝克学院 的学位证书、成绩单或其他学术文件，最稳妥的做法，是从一开始就按正确顺序办理。通常，仅仅提供一份文件副本，往往是不够的。 UK degree certificate, academic transcript, diploma, university letter or education document in Georgia, you will usually need a UK FCDO apostille.

Georgia is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This means a UK apostille usually replaces Georgian Embassy or Consulate legalisation for UK-issued public documents. The HCCH status table lists Georgia as a party to the Apostille Convention, and the UK Legalisation Office confirms that it legalises UK documents by attaching an apostille after checking the relevant UK signature, stamp or seal.

For many UK academic documents used in Georgia, the route is:

University verification → UK solicitor certification → 2 working days express FCDO apostille → use in Georgia

Georgia Usually Does Not Need Embassy Legalisation After Apostille

For Georgia, the UK apostille is usually the key legalisation step.

Because Georgia is part of the Apostille Convention, UK academic documents generally do not need further Georgian Embassy legalisation after the FCDO apostille. The apostille confirms the UK solicitor’s signature, stamp or seal so the document can be recognised in Georgia.

However, the final Georgian recipient may still set its own requirements. A Georgian employer, university, ministry, regulator, immigration adviser or professional body may ask for:

• 学位证书原件
• 成绩单
• Certified copy
• University verification
• Confirmation of award letter
• Georgian translation
• Notarised translation in Georgia
• Specific certification wording

Ginkgo Advisory can prepare the UK-side document in the correct form for Georgia use.

Which UK Academic Documents Can We Prepare?

学历证书（Degree Certificate）

A UK degree certificate usually confirms the qualification awarded, awarding university, degree classification and date of award.

成绩单（Academic Transcript）

A UK academic transcript usually shows the modules studied, marks or grades, credit values, academic years and course structure.

University Letter

A UK university letter may confirm award, attendance, student status, medium of instruction, study mode or course completion.

Diploma or Professional Certificate

Some Georgian recipients may ask for a diploma, professional qualification, school certificate or supplementary academic record.

Each document may need separate solicitor certification and FCDO apostille if the Georgian recipient requires it.

---

Why University Verification Helps

A basic certified copy only confirms that the copy matches the document shown to the solicitor.

It does not always confirm that the UK university genuinely issued the qualification.

For Georgia use, stronger certification can help, especially for:

• Georgian employers
• Georgian universities
• Work permit or residence files
• Ministry or public-sector submission
• Healthcare or engineering registration
• Education-sector employment
• Finance, legal, tourism or corporate appointments

Where suitable, Ginkgo Advisory can identify the correct verification route and prepare certification that reflects the verification carried out.

They may ask for both the degree certificate and academic transcript.

Residence, Relocation and Official Applications

A Georgian authority, adviser or receiving organisation may ask for an apostilled UK degree certificate as part of a work, residence, immigration, relocation or public-sector file.

The exact requirement depends on the recipient.

---

Translation for Georgia

Some Georgian recipients may ask for a Georgian translation of the UK degree certificate, transcript, apostille or supporting university letter.

Before ordering translation, check whether the recipient wants:

• English document accepted as issued
• Georgian translation
• Translation before apostille
• Translation after apostille
• Translation in Georgia
• Certified translation in the UK
• Notarised translation in Georgia
• Translation of the degree certificate only
• Translation of the transcript and apostille as well

The sequence matters. A translation completed at the wrong stage may cause delay.

Common Reasons Documents Are Delayed or Rejected

UK academic documents may be delayed or rejected in Georgia because of:

• No FCDO apostille
• No solicitor certification
• Weak certification wording
• No university verification
• Wrong document selected
• Missing academic transcript
• Missing confirmation of award letter
• Name mismatch with passport, visa file or Georgian application record
• Digital document submitted without suitable certification
