Documents and Apostilles in Brazil: what actually matters to know

Short answer
Obtaining a Russian criminal record certificate with an apostille typically requires personal visits to the Russian Consulate in São Paulo, where appointment wait times can reach three months. Alternatively, you can apply remotely via the Gosuslugi platform and have a trusted representative in Russia collect and forward the document.

From real experience

To obtain a Criminal Record Certificate with Apostille from the Russian Consulate in São Paulo, personal presence at the consulate is generally required twice: once for application submission and once for collection.
Remote processing of the apostille by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) is not commonly available. For those in Russia, someone can collect the certificate by proxy, but delivery to Brazil remains a separate logistical challenge.
