Hi everyone, I need help on getting my diploma legalized in Russia. Can I get this done from the USA? Maybe someone knows how to do this without going to Russia?

Hi everyone, I need help on getting my diploma legalized in Russia. Can I get this done from the USA? Maybe someone knows how to do this without going to Russia?

Can you clarify what you need? Is this a diploma issued by a Russian institution that you want to apostille so it will be valid in the US or is this a diploma from an American institution that you want validated so it will be valid in Russia.

Do you have the physical diploma in hand? Where are you?

My wife brought her diploma from Russia here. In order to get an apostille, we sent it to a government organization in Russia which translated it and attached an apostille to the document. They sent it back. The process was a couple hundred bucks and took a couple months. After you get that apostille and official translation, you will probably need an organization to accredit it. Typically, if you know what you want to do with the diploma, you can ask them(the person who they would like an accreditation from. We used WES.

You probably need a certified English translation and then have it notarized in Russia. You can find translators and notaries easily.

Thank you, but before I need to have it legalized (to put apostille)in Russia where I studied and got a diploma.

You can find a lot of information here

http://www.wes.org/

I would also recommend http://www.ece.org/

They accept regular certified translations for evaluation and normally do not ask for apostille.

Thank you so much. I sent my questions to these agencies. I hope they will accept my diploma without apostille.

what do you need this for? we translated Alla's diploma and transcripts and sent them to ECE for evaluation of US equivilency. No apostile needed.

We used ECE (google ECE) we did not need any official government anything, simply a copy of her original diplomas and school transcripts and a translation. That's all.

Thank you so much! I sent ECE email with my questions.

You need to determine whom you want to show the diploma to and find out what their requirements are. If you don't know that, any effort you spend might be in vain. The university my wife wants to apply to requires WES.

Hi, everyone! At last my diploma papers are ready in Moscow to deliver. Four months(!) is not bad for Russia! I used UPS when I sent there. Now I want them to send them back to me. May be someone knows what I have to do to get this done. I was trying to call Moscow last two days using hot line, but I failed.

Google "ECE" You do not need an Apostile. Get it translated by anyone that is able and send the transl;ation and a copy of the original to ECE. They will do a US equivilent evaluation that is accepted by nearly any school or government agency.

Edit...OOPS. Same post.

well congratualtions!

Sorry but you did not read my last post. I have Apostil on my papers. What I need now is to get them back from Moscow. Thank you for your concern.
