Important information
IMPORTANT: Educational documents obtained abroad must be legalized by a Russian consulate after their legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country that issued the documents, as well as undergo the recognition procedure at the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science. Please note that some countries have international agreements on mutual recognition. If your document falls under international treaties or the university you graduated from is included in the list of the Government of the Russian Federation, then you do not need the recognition procedure.
