Check the diploma 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.
Under the treaty no legalisation is required
The treaty of 23 September 1997 between Russia and Egypt on mutual legal assistance and legal relations in civil, commercial and family matters, in force since 30 October 2002 is in force between Russia and Egypt: formally the document must be accepted without a stamp. In practice institutions in Egypt ask for an apostille, and an apostille is always accepted. The route is therefore built with one; if the receiving institution confirms in writing that no stamp is needed, the apostille step can be skipped.

Have a notarised copy made
The notary certifies that the copy is a true copy. The apostille is then affixed by the Ministry of Justice to the notary's signature, so the original stays with you.
