Apostille in Yekaterinburg
An apostille (French: Apostille) is an internationally standardized form of certification that gives a document legal force in the territory of a foreign state. An “Apostille” stamp confirms the authenticity of the signature and seal on the certified document and certifies the position of the person who signed it. A document can be apostilled only if the country to which it will be sent is a party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 (List of countries that have signed the Hague Convention).
Even if a state is a party to the Hague Convention, an apostille may not be required because Russia has concluded legal assistance treaties with the list of countries that abolish the requirement to apostille documents.
The relevant authority is determined by the type of document that needs to be certified:
- Civil Registry Office: documents issued by civil registry offices (certificates, records)
- Ministry of Justice: notarized documents (copies, powers of attorney, consents, applications, etc.); copies of court decisions
- Ministry of Internal Affairs: police clearance certificate
- Ministry of Education: original educational documents (certificate, diploma of secondary/higher/additional education, diploma of retraining/advanced training)
The basic principle for issuing an apostille is that it must be affixed in the country or region where the document was issued.
The translation bureau EUROSPACE also handles the apostille certification of documents throughout the Russian Federation and abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which countries require an apostille?
An apostille is used for documents intended for countries that are parties to the Hague Convention. However, individual mutual legal assistance agreements may eliminate this requirement, so the procedure depends on the destination country.
Which authority issues an apostille for a document?
The authority depends on the type of document: civil registry offices issue apostilles for their certificates and statements, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does so for criminal record certificates, the Ministry of Justice for notarized and court documents, and the Ministry of Education for educational documents.
Can a damaged or lost document be apostilled?
If a document is worn, contains corrections, or has been lost, a duplicate may first be required from the authority that issued it. EUROSPACE also helps obtain documents when a notarized power of attorney is available.
