Why Apostille Documents for Russia

If you need to use a UK document in the Russian Federation for study enrolment, employment, residency or family matters, it will typically need an Apostille certificate. UK degree certificates, academic documents, birth certificates and ACRO police certificates are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Russian use.

The Russian Federation is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 1992. UK documents apostilled by the FCDO are recognised by Russian authorities. We recommend confirming the latest acceptance practice with your Russian receiving body before submission.
