The Georgia Adult Adoption Petition form is a crucial document for anyone looking to adopt an adult in the state of Georgia. This form, officially known as the Certificate of Adoption (Form 3927), outlines the necessary steps and information required to facilitate the adoption process. It includes sections that must be completed by the petitioner or their legal representative, ensuring that all pertinent details about the individual being adopted and the adoptive parents are accurately recorded. After the adoption is finalized, the court clerk will complete the certification section, which includes vital information such as the date of the decree and the court file number. This finalized form must then be sent to the State Office of Vital Records, where a new birth certificate will be issued reflecting the adopted individual’s new legal name and the names of the adoptive parents. Applicants should be aware of associated fees, including a non-refundable search fee and processing costs for additional copies. Furthermore, all requests must be accompanied by a valid photo ID to ensure compliance with Georgia's regulations regarding vital records. Understanding these aspects will help streamline the adoption process and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
