Apostille is a stamp which is put on documents or a special certificate made out in the form of appendix to official documents. The document certificated by apostille does not require additional legalization and is admitted on the state level of participant countries of the Hague Convention of 1961. Now the number of participants and those who joined the Hague convention is more than 90 countries.

In foreign country a citizen may require various documents certificated by apostille. For example:

• for a purpose of marriage with a foreign citizen, the acknowledgement of absence of registered marriage in Russia may be needed;
• for study or work it may be necessary to receive transcripts or references to confirm education and experience;
• for inheritance or other estate purposes it may be required to prove the fact of family relations with testator.

For visa purposes embassies and consulates of some countries request to have apostille on notary certificated consent of parents to travel abroad of their minor children.

Apostille stamp is also made on documents related to real estate, such as: certificates of state registration of property rights, state registry excerpts, references, notary certificated purchase and sale contract of estate, power of attorney for fulfillment of deal (if one is going to present such documents abroad).

Apostille can be put down on charters and constituent documents, on patent and other documentation from public authority or officials (like certificate of registration, licenses etc).

Apostille cannot be made on:

• documents of diplomatic or consular establishments;
• documents with direct relation to customs or other commercial operations, which can be powers of attorney for fulfillment of trade transactions, moving goods across a border, contracts or agreements of delivery of goods, rendering of services, implementation of various works, checks.

The word "apostille" came from French "Apostille" which in turn possibly occurred from old-French Apostiller (to do marginal notes).

We carry out legalization of documents (apostille stamp) required for migration purposes, inheritance registration, new marriage matters. We constitute and legalize power of attorney papers, academic transcripts and other documents.

All the paperwork is done in minimal short time frame on territory of any country. In case of lack of necessary documents we can restore the lost certificates of birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates, legal name change documents and others.
