LEGALISATION

     According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, documents issued in other countries can be accepted only with legalisation. 

     There are two types of legalisation: 

1. Consular legalisation, which is issued by authorities of foreign affairs of the country of issue and then by consular services in the Russian Federation

2. Apostile, which is issued by authorities of the country of issue. 

Documents issued by countries, with which Russia has concluded multilateral or bilateral agreements, are not subject to legalisation. Full lists of these countries is published here.
