Where do I apostille Russian documents for Argentina?
The apostille is issued in Russia by the authority that issued or holds the document: civil registry (ZAGS) documents at the regional ZAGS authority, the criminal record certificate at the MVD, education documents at the authorised education body. In Argentina a sworn translation (traductor público) is then required.
Embassy of Argentina in Russia (Moscow)
The Embassy of the Argentine Republic in the Russian Federation is located in Moscow and handles consular matters for residents of Russia.

The embassy does not decide citizenship — Argentine authorities do.

Apostille in Russia
Russia and Argentina are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, so an apostille replaces consular legalisation.
- Birth and marriage certificates (ZAGS) — regional ZAGS / Ministry of Justice authorities
- Criminal record certificate — MVD information centres; apostille by the MVD
- Education documents — authorised education authority
- Notarised copies and powers of attorney — regional Ministry of Justice offices
