WHAT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY

FOR WORK AT NEFU

I. WORK APPLICATION DOCUMENTS

Documents necessary for work application at North-Eastern Federal University:

· Document on education and qualification

Before you conclude an employment agreement with a host institution regardless of its type and length of stay, you need to have your documents on education/qualification/ issued by foreign states legalized (confirmation of its authenticity). This procedure should be performed before arrival in Russia in the procedure established in the country issuing these documents. In most countries, the apostille will be enough to confirm the authenticity of documents.

How to legalize documents for use in the Russian Federation

In accordance with the universal principles and the international legal regulations the documents which are issued in one country can obtain the legal power in another country in case these documents are legalized unless otherwise stipulated in international agreements.
There are two type of legalization:
- consular legalization;
- legalization through apostille;

1) Consular legalization.
The consular legalization is a procedure that provides the authentication of signatures, the authority of the person signing the document, the authentication of seal or stamp as well as the legal status of the document. The essence of the procedure is that the consular officer of the Russian Federation makes an inscription on the document which confirms the validity of this document. For performing this action is used a stamp containing the inscription:
"Консульский отдел Посольства Российской Федерации в ___________ удостоверяет подлинность предстоящей подписи и печати" or "Генеральное консульство Российской Федерации в _____________ удостоверяет подлинность предстоящей подписи и печати".
This inscription is put on the free space on the document or on its reverse side and sealed with the official stamp. Also the register number, date of legalization, surname of the consular officer are specified.

2) Apostille.
If the document is issued in the country which is the party of the Hague Convention of 1961, the legalization is made by apostille. A list of the participating countries of the Convention can be found on the official website of the Hague Conference.
Based on article 4 of the Hague Convention, the Apostille should be put either on the document or on separate paper which has to be sewn with the document. The Apostille could be on official language of the country where it is issued.
The legalization through the Apostille is the power of the authorities of the country where the document is issued.

3) Without legalization. Some international agreements of the Russian Federation stipulate the abolish of the legalization of documents.

Albania (Republic of Albania); Algeria (People's Democratic Republic of Algeria); Argentina (Argentine Republic); Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria (Republic of Bulgaria); China (People's Republic of China); Croatia (Republic of Croatia);
Cuba (Republic of Cuba); Cyprus (Republic of Cyprus); Czech Republic; Egypt (Arab Republic of Egypt); Estonia (Republic of Estonia); Finland (Republic of Finland); Greece (Hellenic Republic); Hungary; India (Republic of India); Iran (Islamic Republic of Iran); Iraq (Republic of Iraq); Italy (Italian Republic); Korea, North (Democratic People's Republic of Korea);
