If you need to get a New York apostille for use in Russia for a personal or a corporate document originating from the State of New York, we will be happy to assist you!

Both the U.S. and Russia signed the Hague Apostille Convention, therefore all U.S. documents bearing Hague apostille stamps will be legal and valid in Russia.

Your notarized document (e.g. a power of attorney, an affidavit, etc.) can be in Russian. However, the notarial statement must be in English.

According to the Hague Apostille Convention brochure, an Apostille can be placed directly on the document itself (as a stamp) or on a separate attached page (called an allonge). Apostilles may be affixed by various means, including rubber stamps, self-adhesive stickers, impressed seals, etc. If an Apostille is placed on a separate page, this page can be attached to the underlying document by a variety of means, including glue, grommets, staples, ribbons, wax seals, etc. All of these means are acceptable under the Convention.  Failure to affix an Apostille in a particular manner is not a basis for refusing the Apostille. The State of New York uses metal grommets to attach apostilles to documents. A grommet can be placed in the upper left corner or in the upper right corner of an apostille. There is no other means to attach apostilles to  documents. Your document cannot be rejected because foreign authorities expect an apostille to look different or to be attached to a document in a different manner, e.g. to be ribboned or glued to the document.

Documents, such as vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates), divorce judgments, powers of attorney, notarized affidavits, etc. frequently need to be used abroad. However, the documents are not acceptable in foreign countries if they do not have certain seals an stamps. Before a document can be used in a foreign country, it must be authenticated. The procedure authenticating documents to be used abroad is called "legalisation" or "attestation".

In the past the process involved officials of the country where the document was issued as well as the foreign Embassy or Consulate of the country where the document is to be used. Because of the number of authorities involved, the legalisation process is frequently slow, cumbersome and costly.

Case study: John needs to submit a death certificate registered in Nassau county, New York, to an Italian court. What needs to be done? Can John prepare the document himself, if yes, what is the procedure? The easiest way, of course, would be to entrust the document to a legalization/apostille expert. However, John can do it himself...

Step 1: First, John needs to make sure his document qualifies for the legalization.

Step 2: Then, John needs to find out if he needs an apostille or embassy legalization. As Italy joined the Apostille Hague Convention, he will need a Hague apostille.

Step 3: The next step is to take the document to Nassau county clerk's office for authentication

Step 4: Finally, the document needs to be apostilled by the Office of New York Secretary of State.
