Check the birth 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.
No legalisation needed
The Chisinau Convention of 2002 on legal assistance, which replaced the 1993 Minsk Convention is in force between Russia and Armenia: public documents are accepted without an apostille or consular legalisation. There is no fee to pay and no stamp to wait for.
