Which document are you taking to Spain?

Choose the document and the region of issue: the chain of steps appears at once.

Free, with no sign-up and no email. Every figure carries a link to its source and the date it was checked.

Spain accepts civil registry certificates without legalisation or an apostille under the exchange of notes between the USSR and Spain of 24.02.1984 (Spanish consulate in Moscow). Other Russian documents, including notarial ones, need an apostille.

The translation has to be made by a traductor jurado from the official register of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
