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 26 October 1990 between the USSR and Spain on legal assistance in civil matters is in force between Russia and Spain: formally the document must be accepted without a stamp. In practice institutions in Spain 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 Департамент надзора и контроля в сфере образования Министерства образования и науки Республики Татарстан (апостиль). The state fee is paid in advance and the receipt is attached to the application.

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