Apostille on educational documents, such as certificates of secondary education, diplomas of
secondary specialized and higher education, supplements to them, academic certificates, diplomas
of a candidate of sciences, etc., issued on the territory of the Russian Federation or on the territory
of the RSFSR during the existence of the USSR, can only be affixed to educational documents of
state standard and requires an apostille by the authorities of the Ministry of Education
of the Russian Federation.
To affix an apostille on these educational documents, you must provide the originals of these
documents along with a notarized power of attorney from the owner of the documents. We will be
happy to help you draw up this power of attorney in Vienna, legalize it in court, and arrange
a legal translation certified by the Russian consulate for use in Russia. This service will cost
about 150 Euros, depending on the volume of the power of attorney. The terms for affixing an
apostille in the Russian Federation are approximately 47 days, and the cost of the service
is 450 euros for 1 set, including state duty.
Please note that an apostille can only be affixed to government-issued educational documents,
and not all documents are subject to apostille.
