Double apostille

A requirement to apostille the original and the translation separately; as at the date checked no country in our database requires it.

A double apostille is the situation where an apostille on the original alone is not enough for the destination country and a second one is needed on the notarised translation made in Russia. It is the same stamp affixed twice, to two documents in the same bundle.

As at the date checked, no country in our database requires this, but a particular institution may. Check before ordering: a second apostille means a second state fee and a second wait.
