Civil status certificates are apostilled only by the region that issued them. If yours was issued elsewhere, either apply there, or, where the destination country accepts a copy, have a notarised copy made here and apostilled by the Ministry of Justice.
Your document was issued in Moscow: where are you taking it?
A notary comes before the apostille: they certify the copy of the document and the translator's signature. Addresses and telephone numbers are in the list from the Ministry of Justice register.
A notary charges the federal tariff set by law plus the regional tariff of the chamber. The figures in Moscow: notary fees.
We will obtain the apostille in Moscow for you
A courier collects the document, we file it with the authority and return it with the apostille. The state fee is already in the price of the service.
No notarised power of attorney needed: for most documents a passport scan is enough
