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.
