legalized for use abroad in order to use
a Russian document in Germany it should
be duly legalized legalization of
foreign documents used to be a very
complicated procedure first you had to
submit the document to the notary then
to the Ministry of Justice then to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs after that
it had to be stamped at the consulate
and only then the document was finally
certified for use abroad this procedure
is called consular legalization in 1961
the states adopted the apostille
convention the convention introduced the
apostille a special stamp that was
enough to certify a foreign document for
use abroad the possible is always
stamped in the country where document
was issued and not that consulates or
embassies to be eligible for an
apostille a document should meet certain
requirements one the country of origin
and the country of destination are both
member states of the apostille
convention
to apostille stamps can only be affixed
to public documents three seals and
signatures on the document are readable
after getting an apostille stamp the
document must be translated into the
language of the country of destination
