When applying for any consular process, it is important to keep timelines in mind. In this case, there is a deadline to apply for Spanish citizenship under the Democratic Memory Law, October 2025, and after that point, it will not be possible to apply for Spanish citizenship, unless the Spanish government enacts a new law or extends the current one.
Typically, documents submitted to foreign consulates or embassies must be accompanied by an apostille. This document must be obtained by the applicant prior to submitting documents to the foreign consulate or embassy. However, do apostilles expire? In this article, we will explain what this document is and whether or not it has an expiration period.
An apostille certifies a document so that countries that are part of the 1961 Hague Convention will recognize it. The Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents is an international treaty intended to simplify the process for accepting foreign documents in any of the countries that are part of the treaty. For example, a document issued in the US that is accompanied by an apostille can be submitted in any other member country and legally recognized there.
An apostille is often attached to official documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates or death certificates. Essentially, an apostille authenticates signatures or stamps on the original document. However, in order to be accepted, the apostille must be translated in most cases. Translating an apostille is a simple process that can be done quickly.
However, it is important to understand whether these documents have an expiration period or not. Apostilles do not inherently have an expiration date; they contain an issue date but not an expiration date. However, some consulates require apostilles to have been issued within the last 30 to 90 days. The reason for this is that some documents may contain time-sensitive information, such as background checks or medical records. So, it is always important to check with the consulate or embassy where you are applying to see if they have a requirement regarding the time period when apostilles can be submitted.

Apostilles can only be issued by an official government body, and not a translation company. They must be requested in the country or state in which the document was issued. For example, a Florida birth certificate must receive an apostille from the State of Florida. In the United States, apostilles are issued by a Secretary of State. If the original document is from a foreign country, it will be necessary to get the apostille from the foreign country in which the document was issued.

Russian is an official language in four countries, including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. It is also widely spoken in several other countries. Additionally, it is the seventh-most spoken language in the world by number of native speakers. Russian language is undoubtedly a commonly spoken language around the world, and it is important to understand the nuances to provide accurate Russian translations.
Russian language uses a different alphabet than English, known as Cyrillic. Additionally, the grammar and pronunciation are very different from English. As a result, it is important to ensure you hire a professional who is fully fluent in both English and Russian in order to perform a correct translation.
Common documents translated from Russian to English include birth certificates, vaccination records, passports and marriage certificates. When applying for a US visa or any US immigration process, it is necessary to translate Russian documents to English. Furthermore, when purchasing real estate in the United States, it is usually necessary to translate documents to English. At CSH Translation, we are accustomed to working with Russian language documents and will be happy to assist you with any Russian language request you may have.
