ApostilleHague Convention

Criminal record certificate for the Seychelles

One apostille stamp obtained in Russia is enough. No consulate is involved.

What the apostille goes on: Check with the receiving institution
Second apostille on the translation: Not required
Translation: Check with the receiving institution

1
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.
2
Have the apostille affixed to the original
State fee USD 30 source5–30 working days the certificate itself takes up to 30 calendar days; the apostille takes about a further 5 working days once the certificate is ready. Ask about the combined time when you apply, as Information Centres count it differently
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.
The Main Information and Analytical Centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the regional Information Centre that issued the certificate
The certificate and the apostille on it can be obtained through the Information Centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in any region: there is no link to your registered address.

Translation: check what the Seychelles requires first
We have not confirmed from an official source who has to translate the document, so we do not sell this step blind. Ask the receiving institution before you pay: if a Russian notarised translation is acceptable, we will do it together with the apostille; if a translator or notary in the destination country is required, the translation is made there and after the apostille.
This step is carried out in the destination country. We neither sell it nor charge for it.

Where people go wrong

What the Seychelles requires the apostille to be affixed to is not confirmed by an official source on our side. The route shows the usual order — an apostille on the original, which most countries accept. Check with the country’s consulate before you file: some ask for an apostille on a notarised copy or on the translation.
Who has to translate the document — a Russian notarised translator or a sworn translator in the Seychelles — is not confirmed by an official source on our side. Ask the receiving institution before you pay for a translation: if a sworn translator in the country is required, a Russian translation will not be accepted there.
A common mistake is ordering an ordinary certificate without the ‘for use abroad’ purpose, which means ordering a new one later.
An electronic certificate obtained through Gosuslugi, with no paper original on the Information Centre’s letterhead, cannot be apostilled.
A certificate obtained through an MFC is not the original but a paper confirmation of the contents of an electronic document — that is how art. 16(1)(6.1) of Federal Law No. 210-FZ of 27 July 2010 describes it. It carries neither the signature nor the seal of the Information Centre, so no apostille is affixed to such a copy.
