Atlanta, Georgia document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)
Where to print, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Atlanta, Georgia, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those.
Printing, copying, scanning and fax

Notary in Atlanta
- Library: we didn't find notary service on the Fulton County Library System pages we read [1][8].
- The UPS Store: its Atlanta page lists notarizing [13]. Prices aren't listed online; call the store [14]. Notary rules vary by state [15].
- Becoming a notary (Fulton County): the Clerk handles notary commissions by appointment, with walk-ins welcome [16]. Its fee table lists a new or renewed commission at $55.00 in person or $60.00 for a renewal by mail, and a certificate of authority at $2.00 [12]. We didn't find a fee on the Clerk's pages for notarizing your documents.
- Becoming a notary (DeKalb County, differs): the DeKalb Clerk's notary checklist (updated 6/13/2025) lists the cost as $54.00, paid by cash, debit or credit card (2% plus $1.00 surcharge), business check or money order; personal checks aren't accepted [17].
- How notaries are appointed (statewide): Georgia notaries are commissioned for a four-year term by the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where they live; residents of neighboring states who work or own a business in Georgia can apply in that county. Applicants must be at least 18 and complete the notary training course. The appointment fee is $40.00–$55.00 depending on the county. A Georgia notary can act anywhere in the state [18].
- Fees (statewide): the GSCCCA's summary of Georgia notary law says the authorized fee is $2.00 for each notarial act. On request, a notary may charge $2.00 more for a certificate from the Clerk of Superior Court showing the commission is in effect. A notary doesn't have to charge, but must tell you beforehand if there's a fee and the amount allowed by law [19].
- Journal (statewide): since January 1, 2025, a notary must keep a written or electronic journal entry for each notarial act done for a self-filer [19].
- The law itself (statewide): Georgia notary law is Title 45, Chapter 17 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated: Article 1 (§§ 45-17-1 to 45-17-20) and Article 2 (§§ 45-17-30 to 45-17-34). Under § 45-17-11, the fee is $2.00 for administering an oath, $2.00 for each attendance to make proof and certifying it, and $2.00 for every other certificate, and a notary can't charge more than $4.00 for each service. A notary doesn't have to charge, but must tell you the permitted fees before acting. Under § 45-17-5, a commission lasts four years, and the clerk of superior court can renew it for another four [20].
- Check a notary (statewide): the GSCCCA keeps the statewide notary database and has an online Notary Public Search Index. Its Notary Division phone is 404-327-6023 [18].
Passports in Atlanta
The U.S. Department of State's Passport Acceptance Facility Locator data lists 5 facilities with Atlanta addresses. The Census Geocoder places these 3 in Atlanta city [21][11]:

- Outside the city: the Geocoder places the Clerk's North Service Center, 7741 Roswell Road, in Sandy Springs city. It didn't match the Atlanta Main Office post office at 3900 Crown Road [21][11].
- Fulton County Clerk: the downtown office is at 136 Pryor Street SW, Suite J2-103, (404) 613-5313. The North Service Center is at 7741 Roswell Road, Ste 253, and the South Service Center at 5600 Stonewall Tell Road, Ste 219B, College Park. Appointments are recommended and get priority; walk-ins are taken as space allows [4]. Both service centers close daily for lunch from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. [4][22].
- Pages differ on downtown hours: the top of the Clerk's passport page says downtown appointments run until 4:30 PM and the last walk-in is taken at 4:45 PM. Its office list says appointments until 4:00 PM and last walk-ins at 3:45 PM [4]. The Clerk's directions page and the county's passport page also say 4:00 PM and 3:45 PM [22][16]. The locator lists Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–4 p.m., with appointments until 4 PM and last walk-ins at 4 PM [21]. Call (404) 613-5313 before you go late in the day.
- Clerk fee and payment: the Clerk's $35 fee is paid separately from the State Department fees. Cards are no longer accepted for it: pay cash or money order downtown, and money order only at the North and South Service Centers. State Department fees are paid by personal check, money order or certified funds payable to the U.S. Department of State [4].
- Clerk's fee table: it lists an adult passport book at $130.00 and a book with 1–3 day shipping at $156.87, which is $26.87 more [4]. That matches the State Department figure below, not the USPS figure.
- Photos (pages differ): the Clerk takes passport photos downtown for $15.00; children must be at least five [4]. The locator doesn't list photos for this office [21].
- Renewals: the Clerk says most adult renewals are done directly through the U.S. Department of State [4]. Most appointments take about 15–30 minutes [4].
- Post offices: the locator says to book appointments or see more passport times at usps.com/scheduler [21].
- DeKalb County Clerk (Decatur, outside the city; pages differ on hours): passports are handled at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 556 North McDonough Street, Ground Floor, Decatur; 404-371-2836. The Clerk's contact page lists passport processing Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. [23]; its passport checklist (updated 10/1/2026) lists 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., no appointment needed [24]. Call before you go.
- DeKalb fees and payment: the execution fee is $35.00 per application and photos are $15.00 each (effective 9/26/2026). The checklist also lists a 1–3 day return delivery fee of $26.87 [24]. Pay the application and photo fees by cash or money order only; the office doesn't take debit or credit cards [25].
- Library: we didn't find passport service on the Fulton County Library System pages we read [1][8].
- Post office fees (national): a $35.00 acceptance fee and a $15.00 photo fee "if needed" [26].
- Faster return delivery (national): two official pages list different prices. USPS lists "$22.05—1- to 3- day delivery service for faster return shipping to you from the State Department" [26]. The State Department's fee page lists 1–3 business day return delivery at $26.87, for passport books only [27]. We couldn't re-read the State Department page on Nov 3, 2026, because it blocked our check. Confirm the fee with the acceptance facility before you pay.
See the passport checklist and passport photo prices.
Birth, death, marriage, court and recorded-document copies
Birth and death certificates (Fulton County Board of Health)
- Fee: a $25 non-refundable search fee, which includes one certified copy if the record is found. Extra copies of the same record ordered at the same time are $5 each [2]. That's the same as the state fees below.
- Which records: the office is the local agent for Fulton County residents and can also print certificates for births and deaths in any Georgia county. At least 95% print on demand; some can take up to 72 hours [2].
- Where: Fulton County Government Center, 141 Pryor Street, Suite 1029A [2][28], where the county's Vital Records Division issues birth and death certificates [29]. The Census Geocoder places it in Atlanta city [11]. The Board of Health also lists offices at 1920 John Wesley Avenue, College Park, and 4700 North Point Parkway, Alpharetta [2]; the Geocoder places the College Park office in College Park city [11].
- Pages differ on hours: the Board of Health's vital records page says walk-in service runs Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. [2]. Its College Park hours notice lists the Government Center at Mon–Fri 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. and says College Park is closed Mondays, open Tue–Fri 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. [30].
- Payment: walk-ins pay by cash, certified check, money order, or Visa or MasterCard; American Express isn't accepted. Online orders go through VitalChek. Phone (770) 520-7500, press 1, then 4 [2].

Birth and death certificates from the state (statewide)

The state works with 159 county offices [34]. Georgia Vital Records doesn't do same-day cruise rush requests [32].
- By mail (statewide): mail the request form and payment to the State Office of Vital Records at the Phoenix Boulevard address. Georgia.gov gives a response time of 8–10 weeks [7], and the Department of Public Health says 8 to 10 weeks for mail-in death certificate requests [33].

FedEx shipping is $16 per order and speeds up delivery only; the Department of Public Health says standard processing takes up to 10 weeks [35]. Georgia.gov gives an online response time of 2–4 weeks, or up to 5 business days for expedited orders, and lists ROVER, GO Certificates and VitalChek [7]. Ask the office which timing applies before you order.
- Divorce records (statewide): the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the divorce was granted holds the copies [7].
Marriage licenses (Fulton County Probate Court)

The county's posted fees follow; if they differ from the statute, ask the Clerk which applies.

Apostilles and other certifications (statewide)
- Who issues them (statewide): the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) is the only state agency that issues apostilles for Georgia documents, and Atlanta is its only location. For countries outside the Apostille Convention, the Georgia Secretary of State issues a Great Seal Certification instead (404-656-2871) [44].

Notarized documents don't need a county certification first. Out-of-state and federal documents go elsewhere [44].

Shredding
- Atlanta Recycles Day (city): the City of Atlanta's Department of Public Works says it holds Atlanta Recycles Day at Greenbriar Mall every third Saturday of the month from February to December, with an onsite shredding truck for sensitive documents. There's no event in January [46]. By that schedule, the next ones would be Nov. 21 and Dec. 19, 2026, but the page doesn't list dates or times, so check before you go. The Census Geocoder places Greenbriar Mall, 2841 Greenbriar Pkwy SW, in Atlanta city [11].
