An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Russia that means Russia’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Russia, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Russia issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Authority fee: 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 fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Russia: questions
Russia designates its competent authorities under Article 6 of the Convention; the notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Kosovo: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: 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 from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Russian; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Russia since May 31, 1992.
