  2. No legalisation needed

    The treaty of 15 July 1958 between the USSR and Hungary on legal assistance in civil, family and criminal matters is in force between Russia and Hungary: public documents are accepted without an apostille or consular legalisation. There is no fee to pay and no stamp to wait for.
