Check the birth certificate 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.
No legalisation needed
The exchange of notes between the USSR and Spain of 24 February 1984 on accepting civil registry documents without legalisation is in force between Russia and Spain: public documents are accepted without an apostille or consular legalisation. There is no fee to pay and no stamp to wait for.

Have the document translated into Spanish and notarised
The translation is bound to the document and the translator's signature is certified by a Russian notary. Such a translation is accepted in Spain.
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.
