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 12 August 1982 between the USSR and Czechoslovakia on legal assistance in civil, family and criminal matters, which Czechia succeeded to is in force between Russia and Czechia: formally the document must be accepted without a stamp. In practice institutions in Czechia 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 the apostille affixed to the original
The apostille on the diploma is affixed by Министерство образования Новосибирской области (апостиль на документы об образовании). The state fee is paid in advance and the receipt is attached to the application.

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