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