Russia death certificate apostille: questions
Regional ZAGS administration / Ministry of Justice territorial bodies. Issued by: ZAGS (civil registry office)
Yes. The apostille must be issued in Russia, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled death certificate anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.
An Article 12 objection is in force between Russia and Kosovo; documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait always need legalisation.
The HCCH record lists: According to sub-paragraph 48 of paragraph 1 of article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the price for the issuance of an Apostille is 2500 rubles per document.. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.
In most countries only relatives in the direct line, spouses and persons with a legal interest can obtain it. With your authorisation and proof of kinship we order it from the registry and take it straight to the apostille authority.
Usually yes when it is used abroad. It is a court or notarial document, so it is apostilled by the authority responsible for judicial documents in the issuing country. We submit both documents in parallel to save time.
Where the registry issues certificates online and the country has e-apostilles, within days. Elsewhere the bottleneck is obtaining a fresh certificate, which we start on the day you order.
