Obtaining documents from Russia
If you reside within the consular district of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Sydney, which includes New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania, you may obtain documents from the Russian Federation on demand through our office.
To proceed with obtaining documents from Russia you should submit to the Consulate either in person or by mail the following documents:
1. Two copies of a filled-out (in Russian) questionnaire on obtaining documents available for downloading from the right menu of the web-page.
To obtain a certificate of no criminal record (police clearance certificate) you should submit the appropriate application form available for downloading from the right menu of the web-page.
2. A personal application in a plain-text form regarding obtaining a document (in Russian or in English).
The fee is 90 AUD for each document on demand. Please note that we accept cash, bank cheques, credit/savings cards and money orders payable to the Consulate General of Russia.
If you apply by mail, you should enclose a self-addressed stamped return envelope (preferably Express or Registered Post).
We do not process requests for such documents as military identifications, labor books, driver’s licenses, inquiries of family status, evaluations, and personal cases from Russian institutions. We do not process requests for documents if they are not in the inquirer’s name or not valid at the present time (for example, you cannot request a birth certificate of a person who is deceased or a marriage certificate of someone who is divorced).
To request duplicates of documents from educational institutions we recommend that you address your inquiries directly to those institutions.
The turnaround time for processing a request is approximately 4-6 months. You will be notified about the result of your request examination.
The consulate will not refund any fees acquired even if the documents or requested information are not found.
