The Public Services Development Agency [PSDA] of the Ministry of Justice has today opened applications for the issuance of secondary school leaving certificates [Grade 12] or the General Education Diploma.

Applications for the certificates can be submitted at the agency’s territorial offices, branches of the Public Service Hall, and Mobile Public Service Halls.

“Applications for the certificate may be submitted by the graduate in person upon presentation of a valid identity document, by their authorised representative, or, in the case of individuals under the age of 18, by a parent.

Until December 31, certificates will be issued free of charge 10 working days after application.

Once the physical certificate has been received, individuals can download an electronic version from the online portal (my.gov.ge), which carries the same legal weight as the original. The digital certificate can be downloaded at any time using the application number and security code provided on the receipt slip given to the applicant during submission”, - reads the statement of the PSDA.
