How Russian Translation and Legalization Work

Russia is part of the Apostille Convention but Egypt is not, so documents between the two countries still go through consular legalization.

DirectionUsual steps
Egyptian documents for use in Russia
(e.g. university admission)
Certification by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs → legalization by the Russian Embassy or Consulate → Russian translation, with the translation (or translator’s signature) certified by a Russian notary — at a Russian consulate or in Russia.
Russian documents for use in Egypt
(e.g. diplomas, marriage, company files)
Legalization in Russia and by the Egyptian Embassy or Consulate in Russia → certified Arabic translation in Egypt for the receiving authority.
Good to know: Many Russian universities explain their own document requirements in detail, and rules can change. Send us your university or authority checklist first — we’ll tell you exactly what needs translating and in what order, before you pay anything.

Returning from Russia with your degree?

Send us your diploma and transcript on WhatsApp. We’ll translate them into Arabic for equivalency and syndicate registration in Egypt — with medical and technical terminology checked.
