International Paper Recognition > 자유게시판

Foreign documents encompass numerous categories including identification papers, birth certificates and others, authenticated by official bodies of states that are signatories to mutual recognition treaties on the mutual recognition and passport translation services protection of diplomas.

First and foremost, priority should be given to determine whether the country where the document was published has an contract with Russia on mutual recognition of certificates. Such contracts can simplify the process and accelerate the process substantially.

In case there is an contract, the document needs to be endorsed by the competent authority in the nation of origin. An apostille is a special certification or certification attached to a document to authenticate its originality. A list of countries with endorsement contracts is published on the website of the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

In states where there is no agreement, the papers are recognized only after getting authenticated and stamped by the relevant foreign affairs authority or the Russian embassy in the country of issuance. Once this step is finished, the document is submitted for authentication at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Upon authentication and endorsement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the document receives a consular legalization mark. However, for papers issued in countries with endorsement contracts, the endorsement is considered a substitute for diplomatic certification.

To get a paper legalized in Russia, you typically need to provide it along with a notarized authorization and the corresponding fee. You can send the papers via mail or through the post office, depending on the specific requirements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Authentication of international documents for use in Russia can be quite complicated due to multiple treaties and protocols involved. However, if you follow the steps and identify whether the country has an contract with Russia, the process can become much simpler.
