Apostille Translation in Moscow

An apostille authenticates a public document for relevant international use; a translation makes the document understandable to the receiver. The correct sequence and certification format depend on the document, issuing country, destination and organisation.

Receiver first, authentication second: ask whether apostille or consular legalisation is required. If it is, the procedure is normally completed in the country that issued the document before the source and all resulting marks are translated together.

FAQ

Apostille and translation questions

Current written receiver requirements remain controlling.

Should apostille come before translation?

Ask the receiver first. If required, it is normally completed in the issuing country before the source and all marks are translated.

Can every document receive an apostille?

No universal promise is possible. Eligibility and competent authority depend on the document and issuing country.

Is apostille the same as consular legalisation?

No. The applicable authentication route depends on countries, document and intended use.

Who performs the notarial act?

Where requested and available, it is performed by a partner notary; Rocketperevod prepares and coordinates the translation route.

Can a scan start the review?

Yes, a readable complete file normally starts assessment, though originals may be required for authentication.

Can you guarantee acceptance abroad?

No. The receiving organisation controls its current requirements and final acceptance.
