Russia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so most Russian public documents can be certified with an apostille for use in other member states. For countries outside the Convention, consular legalization applies. We handle both — without your presence in Russia.
Documents we process
- Civil registry documents: birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates;
- Education documents: diplomas, transcripts, school certificates;
- Corporate documents: charters, registry extracts, powers of attorney;
- Court decisions and notarial acts;
- Criminal record certificates and other administrative documents.
How it works
- You send us scans; we confirm which authority apostilles the specific document type and whether a duplicate or notarized copy is needed first;
- Where originals are required, we obtain duplicates from the issuing authority under a power of attorney;
- We file for the apostille (or consular legalization), collect the result and arrange certified translation if the destination country requires it;
- Documents are delivered to you by international courier.
FAQ
I am abroad and have no documents on hand — can you still help?
Yes. With a power of attorney we can obtain duplicates of most civil registry and education documents and then apostille them.
How long does it take?
Apostille itself usually takes days; obtaining duplicates adds time depending on the authority and region. We give a realistic estimate per document before starting.
