Apostilles from the Ministry of Justice

In most cases, an “apostille” is stamped on copies of notarized documents (these may be copies of personal documents, such as birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, diplomas, credentials certifications, etc. as well as copies of the incorporation documents of legal entities – articles of association, founding documents, tax office registration statements, etc. along with a broad spectrum of other types of documents) or documents processed at a notary (such as powers of attorney, child travel consent, etc.).

In the above-mentioned cases, an Apostille is stamped by the regional Justice organ of the Russian Federation: documents processed by the notary of a particular region are to receive Apostille stamps only at the Main Department of the Ministry of Justice for that particular region.
