| DOCUMENTS Russia is a signature to the Hague Convention and therefore there is no need for shipping Documents to be legalized. Other documents that need legal recognition would be certified with an Apostille, which will allow them to be accepted for legal use in Russia. The Embassy will legalize certain individual documents if needed. In order for the document to be recognized by the Embassy, it would first need to be certified by the U.S. State Department. As part of our service, we can take your Documents to the U.S. State Department and also advise you on their exact requirements before they will place their seal. |
| PROCEDURE Please complete the attached order form and send along with your document to WCS. In order to obtain an Apostille/legalization, WCS will need the original document. This should be a signed, notarized or a State issued Document. The legalization process at the Embassy usually takes about 4 business days. Customers should include their own return airway bill issued by DHL, UPS or FedEx with the document, along with a check or credit card information for payment of legalization fees. For individual orders please complete your credit card number on the form. |
