Check the archival statement before you apply
The stamp is only affixed to an original of the established form and in good condition. A laminated document, a Soviet-era form or one with corrections will not be apostilled: you need a duplicate first.

Have the apostille affixed to the original
The apostille on the archival statement is affixed by the authorised regional executive authority for archives, for statements from regional and municipal archives, or Rosarkhiv, the Federal Archival Agency, for statements from federal archives. The state fee is paid in advance and the receipt is attached to the application.

Have the translation done by a sworn translator in the United States
A Russian notarised translation will not be accepted in the United States: you need a translator sworn in the destination country. The document is translated together with the apostille, so this step comes last.
This step is carried out in the destination country. We neither sell it nor charge for it.
Have it done for you
A CDEK courier collects the document anywhere in Russia and returns it with the apostille or legalisation. You pay step by step once a manager has confirmed the scope and the price.

archival statement for other countries
The route depends on the destination: some countries need an apostille, some need consular legalisation, and some need nothing at all.
Other documents to the United States
Each type of document has its own authority and its own procedure — even when the destination is the same.
