Apostille– is a special legalization of documents that simplifies the process of their use abroad. In Russia, this term has become popular since 2011, when the Russian Federation joined the 1961 Hague Convention on the Legalization of Foreign Public Documents.
How does the apostille process work?
To obtain an apostille, you must contact an authorized institution for the registration of this legalization. In Russia, these may be authorized territorial bodies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or their representative offices abroad. To do this, you must provide original documents or their notarized copies.
What documents require apostille?
An apostille can be issued for various documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational certificates and other documents that need to be used abroad.
However, it is important to remember that an apostille is only necessary in cases where the country in which the document will be used is a party to the Hague Convention of 1961. If it has not been adopted by this convention, then a different procedure may be required to legalize documents.
