Ga. Ct. App. R. 17
The clerk of the trial court shall certify and transmit to the Clerk of this Court a copy of the original transcript (whether printed or on compact disc) and copies of all records as required within the time prescribed by statute. Trial court orders included in the record must contain the signature of the trial court judge. Conformed signatures, stamped signatures, and signatures with permission shall not be permitted, except for those courts in which the official practice is for the judge to electronically sign or stamp his or her signature. Transmittal shall be made by the clerk or deputy clerk personally, electronically, or by first class United States Postal Service, express mail, or commercial courier or delivery service, charges prepaid. Transmittal by a party or attorney is prohibited. The appellant, court reporters, and the trial court clerk shall cooperate to ensure that the record is complete.
