- Obtaining the criminal record certificate
If you don't have one yet — submit an application through MFC, government services portal, or directly to the MVD IC. Processing time — 15–30 days. We can help with the submission. - Apostille submission
You hand us the original certificate. We submit it to the IC of the regional MVD that issued the certificate. For Moscow — IC of the Moscow MVD. - Apostille receipt
Processing time — 10–30 business days (MVD regulations). The apostille is bound to the certificate on a separate sheet. - Translation
We translate the certificate together with the apostille into English (or another language). We know the correct wording for immigration authorities. - Notarized certification
A notary near the metro certifies the translation within 2 hours. The document is ready for submission.
Certificate Validity Period
A criminal record certificate is valid for 3–6 months (depending on the requirements of the receiving country). We recommend planning the certificate and apostille in advance — the full cycle (certificate + apostille + translation) may take 1.5–2 months.
