Check the power of attorney 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 power of attorney is affixed by the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of the region where the notary who certified the document or the copy works. The state fee is paid in advance and the receipt is attached to the application.

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