Legalization – this action is aimed at giving legitimacy to a document in another country. There are two types of document legalization: consular legalization and the simplified form – apostille.

If the country where the document is to be used is a party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, consular legalization of that document is not required – an apostille stamp is sufficient enough to legalize the document.

Consular legalization of various documents

Our company, Impression, offers professional services on consular legalization of documents. Consular legalization of documents in Russia is carried out in two ways:

  • Legalization is carried out in stages. The document goes through the legalization department of the Ministry of Justice, the legalization department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the consulate of the foreign state involved. This is the procedure for consular legalization of most personal and legal documents (certificates, testimonials, diplomas, transcripts, Articles of Association, etc,)

  • Consular legalization of documents is carried out in stages through the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) and the consulate of the foreign state involved

This is the procedure for consular legalization of commercial documents. However, not all consulates legalize documents after the CCI seal has been affixed.
