However, some documents (for example, all paper documents) require a request. To affix an apostille, clarification or additional information must be obtained, and then the Ministry sends an official request to the educational institution. The usual way of sending request and getting response to it is by mail. The educational institution has the right to consider the letter within a month, and in this case the deadline for obtaining an apostille for your documents is extended.

We offer you to speed up the terms of consideration of requests. In this case, the official request is sent in advance by e-mail within 1-2 working days, and we take getting the response under our personal control.
