What to send us first
- Your power of attorney (PoA) for the sale — already signed and apostilled in your country of residence
- If you don't have a PoA yet, tell us and we'll send you a template to take to a local notary
- The property title document (ownership certificate or Rosreestr extract, EGRN)
- The purchase agreement or inheritance/gift document that first gave you the property, if you have it
- Your passport page and, if applicable, your Russian TIN (INN)
How the Real Estate Sale Package works
You send us scans of your apostilled power of attorney and your property documents. We make a certified Russian translation of each one, bound and stamped the way Russian notaries and Rosreestr expect. Your representative in Russia — often a local agent, lawyer, or relative — uses the translated PoA to sign the sale on your behalf. We can also help you find a trusted local representative if you don’t have one yet.

No Translation Error Guarantee
If a Russian authority rejects your translation because of a mistake we made — a misspelled name, a mistranslated term, a missing stamp — we redo it at no charge, on a rush basis.
Applies to our own translation and notarization work; does not cover requirements set by the receiving authority, such as an apostille it turns out you needed, or a document type it does not accept in translated form at all.
About the apostille — please read this before you order
This is important, so we say it plainly: an apostille on your power of attorney must be issued in the country where the power of attorney was drawn up and signed — for example, at a notary or a designated government office in the US, Italy, Germany, Israel, or wherever you live. We cannot issue an apostille in Russia for a document from another country, and no company legitimately can. If someone offers you an “apostille in Russia” on your foreign power of attorney, that is not how the process works.
What we do is different, and it is the part that actually needs to happen in Russia: once your power of attorney already has its apostille from your own country, we make the certified Russian translation and have it notarized here in Russia, so a Russian notary, Rosreestr, or the buyer’s bank will accept it. If you have not apostilled your PoA yet, send us a photo of the draft and we will tell you exactly what to do before you sign it, so you don’t waste time or money on a document that gets rejected.
Common questions about selling property in Russia remotely
Can I sell an apartment in Russia without traveling there?
Yes. This is the most common way people abroad sell Russian property. You sign an apostilled power of attorney where you live, we translate it into Russian, and your representative in Russia signs the sale deed and completes the paperwork on your behalf.
Where do I get the power of attorney apostilled?
Only in the country where you sign it. This is usually done at a local notary, and the apostille itself is added afterward by a state or federal authority in that same country — for example, a Secretary of State office in the US, a prefecture in France, or a court in Germany. We can tell you the right office once you say where you live.
Do you issue apostilles in Russia?
No. Apostilles are only issued in the country where the document was created. We do not issue apostilles on foreign documents in Russia, and any service that claims to is not describing a real process. What we provide is the certified, notarized Russian translation of your already-apostilled document.
What if my power of attorney is not in Russian?
That's expected — it should be written in your own language and apostilled there. Send it to us as a scan once it's signed and apostilled, and we will produce the certified Russian translation your representative needs to use it at a Russian notary or Rosreestr.
How long does the whole sale process take once documents are ready?
Translation of the PoA and title documents usually takes 1-5 business days depending on the package. The sale itself depends on your representative, the buyer, and the local notary — typically a few weeks once all paperwork is in order. We stay available to answer questions from your representative throughout.
Can you help me find someone in Russia to act as my representative?
Yes, on request. If you don't already have a trusted representative, tell us and we can suggest options such as a local real estate agent or lawyer who regularly handles remote sales for people abroad.
