Russian Certificate Attestation

Russian Certificate Attestation Process

Step 1: Certified Translation & Local Authentication

As Russian official documents are issued in Cyrillic, they must first undergo certified translation. Both the original document and its translation are then authenticated by the relevant Russian authorities, typically including the Ministry of Justice or equivalent local bodies.

Step 2: Archive Certificate Verification (Educational Documents)

For academic qualifications such as degrees and diplomas, Russian authorities frequently require an Archive Certificate. This document is an official confirmation issued by the university or educational institution verifying attendance, graduation, and issuance of the qualification.

This step is critical. Without archive verification, educational attestation procedures may be suspended or rejected. Seal & Signature Business Services L.L.C coordinates directly with educational institutions to secure this documentation efficiently.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation – Moscow

Following local authentication, the document is submitted to the UAE Embassy in Moscow for diplomatic legalization, often referred to as super legalization. This endorsement authorizes the document for onward use in the UAE.

Step 4: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) – UAE

Upon arrival in the UAE, the final legalization is completed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This final stamp confirms full legal acceptance for use across UAE governmental and private sector entities.
