What Is an Apostille and Why Do You Need It

An apostille is a special stamp that certifies the authenticity of a document for use in another country. It is placed on the original document or a notarially certified copy and is recognised by all countries that have signed the 1961 Hague Convention — most European countries, the USA, many countries in Asia and Latin America.

Without an apostille, a Russian document — a diploma, birth certificate or criminal record certificate — will have no legal force abroad, even if it has been translated and notarially certified. An apostille is required in addition to the translation, not instead of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have more questions — call us or leave a request

The apostille price is fixed — 5,000 ₽ per document, regardless of type. Turnaround depends on the authority: usually 3 to 10 business days. We will confirm the exact timeline once we establish which authority handles your document.
Apostilles are placed on official documents issued by government authorities — diplomas, civil registry certificates, criminal record certificates, corporate documents and others. An apostille isn't needed if the destination country isn't party to the Hague Convention — consular legalisation is required in that case.
It depends on the receiving party's requirements — sometimes the apostille goes on the original, then the document is translated. In other cases, the apostille goes on the notarially certified translation. We will determine the correct sequence for your situation and handle both in one order.
Yes, that is exactly our service — we submit your documents to the relevant authority and collect the completed result. Simply hand us the original at our office or via courier, and we handle everything else. No queues.
Apostilles are recognised by all parties to the 1961 Hague Convention — more than 120 countries including most of Europe, the USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea and many Latin American countries. For non-member countries, consular legalisation is required — ask our manager about your specific country.
