A diploma apostille is a stamp that lets a foreign country trust that your Russian diploma is real, without calling the university to check. People usually need this stamp for a foreign university, an employer, or a credential evaluation agency such as WES or ENIC-NARIC. This service covers one specific case: your original diploma was issued by a university located in Krasnodar region. If that is not your case, keep reading — further down this page we explain what to do instead.
What We Need From You
- A clear scan or photo of your original diploma, showing the university name, so we can confirm it was issued by a university in Krasnodar region
- The original diploma itself, since the apostille is placed on the physical original document, not on a photocopy
- The name of the country and the agency or school you are sending the diploma to, for example WES, ECE, ENIC-NARIC, or a specific university, so we can check what format they expect
- Your full name exactly as it appears in your passport, so we can confirm it matches your diploma records
- Whether you also need a certified translation, and which language
- A phone number, email, or Telegram handle so we can reach you with updates and questions
Why the Apostille Has to Come From Krasnodar region
In Russia, the apostille for an education document is not issued by one national office. It is issued by the regional Ministry of Education, in the region where the university is located. The Ministry of Education of the Krasnodar region only has the authority to apostille diplomas from universities inside Krasnodar region. It cannot apostille a diploma issued by a university in Moscow, St. Petersburg, or any other region — that has to go through the Ministry of Education in that other region instead.
If your diploma was issued outside Krasnodar region, we can still help, just through a different route. A notary can certify a copy of your diploma, we can add a certified translation if you need one, and the Krasnodar Ministry of Justice can apostille that notarized copy. Most countries and evaluation agencies accept an apostilled notarized copy the same way they accept an apostille on the original document. See our Apostilled Translation service below for that route, or ask us and we can point you to a trusted partner near the region that issued your diploma.
Diplomas and Credential Evaluation Agencies (WES, ENIC-NARIC, and Others)
Agencies such as World Education Services (WES) in the US and Canada, or the ENIC-NARIC network in Europe, evaluate foreign diplomas so a foreign university, employer, or licensing board can understand what a Russian degree means in their own education system. Most of these agencies ask for an apostilled diploma plus a certified translation, sent either by you or directly by the university. We are not affiliated with WES, ENIC-NARIC, or any other evaluation agency, and we do not decide what documents they accept. Always check the agency’s current document list before you order, so we apostille and translate exactly what it asks for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you apostille a Russian diploma for a WES or ENIC-NARIC evaluation?
Yes, if the diploma was issued by a university in Krasnodar region. We apostille the original diploma through the regional Ministry of Education and add a certified translation if the evaluation agency asks for one. Always check the agency's current document list first, since requirements can change and we do not control what any agency accepts.
My diploma was issued in a different Russian region. Can you still help?
We cannot apostille the original in that case, because the Krasnodar Ministry of Education only has authority over diplomas from Krasnodar region universities. What we can do instead is have a notary certify a copy of your diploma, translate it if needed, and apostille that notarized copy through the Krasnodar Ministry of Justice. Most countries and evaluation agencies accept this route. We can also refer you to a trusted partner closer to the region that issued your diploma, if you would rather get an apostille on the original there.
Do I need to send you the original diploma, or is a scan enough?
The apostille in this service is placed on the physical original diploma, so we need the original document, not just a scan. Send us a scan first so we can confirm the university and plan the paperwork. Then we will tell you how to get the original to us, or to a notary who can start the process on your behalf.
How long does a diploma apostille take?
Processing with the Ministry of Education of the Krasnodar region typically takes 7 to 14 business days. After that, international courier delivery usually adds 2 to 5 weeks for the EU or US, since shipments from Russia are often routed through a third country. We email you a signed scan as soon as the apostille is issued, so you have a working copy while the original is in transit.
Do I also need a certified translation of my diploma?
Most foreign universities, employers, and evaluation agencies ask for a certified translation alongside the apostilled diploma, especially if they do not read Russian. We can add a certified translation into English, Italian, Spanish, German, or French to your order. Check what your specific destination requires before you order, since some agencies have their own translation rules.
What if my university closed or changed its name after I graduated?
The Ministry of Education of the Krasnodar region can usually still confirm and apostille a diploma from a university that no longer exists under its old name, since regional education records are normally kept even after a school closes or merges. Tell us the university's name at the time you studied there, and we will check what the process looks like for your specific case.

We are not a Russian government agency, a university, or a credential evaluation service such as WES or ENIC-NARIC. We apostille original diplomas only when they were issued by a university located in Krasnodar region, through the regional Ministry of Education; for diplomas from other Russian regions, we apostille a notarized copy and translation instead, or refer you to a partner near the issuing region. We do not decide what a foreign university, employer, or evaluation agency accepts — always confirm their current document and translation requirements before you order. Typical processing is 7-14 business days, and international courier delivery to the EU or US usually adds 2-5 weeks on top of that, since shipments are often routed through a third country.
