Poland: a treaty applies, but an apostille is safer
For Poland a treaty formally removes legalisation, but in practice an apostille is often asked for — it is safer to obtain one.

Which document are you taking to Poland?
Choose the document and the region of issue: the chain of steps appears at once.
The 1996 treaty formally removes the need for legalisation, but Polish universities, registry offices (USC) and employers almost always require an apostille.
The translation is made by a tłumacz przysięgły, a sworn translator from the register of the Polish Ministry of Justice.
Official register: www.tepis.org.pl. We do not sell this step: the apostille is obtained in Russia and the translation is ordered from a translator in the destination country. How it works.
