Most people who write to us are not sure whether they need a notarized translation into Russian, an apostille on a Russian document, or a professional translation for a bank or lawyer abroad. That is normal — the right answer depends on which direction your document is traveling, what it is, which country is involved, and sometimes on the specific situation (an inheritance case, a citizenship application, a bank compliance review). The tool below asks exactly those four questions and gives you a recommendation, so you can start your order already on the right service instead of guessing.

How to Read the Result
The tool gives you one of three indicative levels. “Usually accepted as-is” means we have handled this exact combination many times without complications. “Sometimes needs extra steps” means the receiving office sometimes asks for something extra — an original instead of a copy, a fuller set of supporting records — and we will flag what to expect. “Needs a closer look before ordering” means your combination is unusual enough, or the rules change often enough, that we would rather check the details with you first than guess. In every case, the recommendation links you straight to the right service page, and you can leave your details if you would like us to follow up directly instead of navigating the site yourself.
About This Tool
Is this tool giving me legal advice?
No. It is a routing tool that points you to the right service on this site and gives an indicative, experience-based sense of how straightforward your case is likely to be. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace confirming exact requirements with the specific office asking for your document.
How accurate is the recommendation?
It reflects patterns from cases we have actually handled, not a database of every country's official rules. For common combinations it is usually reliable; for anything it has not seen before, it will honestly say so and offer to have a person check your case instead of guessing.
What happens if I leave my details at the end?
We treat it as an inquiry, not an order. A member of our team follows up, usually within 2 hours during working hours (9:00-20:00 Moscow time, Monday to Saturday), to confirm the details and the next step.
Can I just message you instead of using the tool?
Yes, absolutely. The tool exists to save you a back-and-forth for common cases, but Telegram at @massimoalefBot works just as well, especially if your situation is unusual.
