Question on mssing signature on translation

[bobb 0]

I just received by email the divorce decree, translation and certification. The translation was done in November 2002 by Chief of Civil Registry Office in Izhevsk with no signature. There is a line that shows:

Chief of Civil Registry Office Signature L.Z. Guzeva

and no actual signature.

She took this to a notary who on the bottom quarter of this document certified to it's accuracy and dated 8 November 2008.. But, like the translation above there is no signature, only the following after the certification:

Notary _______________________Signature of Garifullina A.Y.

Is this adequate or common in Russia? Or, does the notary have to sign, as I believe they do. At least according to the directions for certifications. It would be easy for her to obtain the notaries signature. It might be harder to obtain the Registry Office signature.

What a dummy I am. I apologize. I should have posted this to my previous thread about this issue. If the powers to be have anyway to add this as a reply to my thread Topic 'Translation of Divorce Decree', it would be appreciated. I hate doing what I just did. Again, I apologize for opening a new Topic.

ANYONE READING PLEASE DISREGARD - I WILL ADD MY POST TO MY ORIGINAL TOPIC.

Now I suppose I should just ask for this Topic to be deleted.
