Check the criminal record 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.

Have the apostille affixed to the original
The apostille on the criminal record certificate is affixed by the Main Information and Analytical Centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the regional Information Centre that issued the certificate. The state fee is paid in advance and the receipt is attached to the application.

Have the translation done by a sworn translator in Denmark
A Russian notarised translation will not be accepted in Denmark: 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.
