Do I need to apostille documents for nulla osta?
Theme: The D visa and entry · from messages of 2022-2025
In short
For obtaining nulla osta, apostille and translation of documents from the registry office are not required.
What the chats answered
To obtain nulla osta, you only need a certificate from the registry office and a birth certificate, which do not require translation or apostille. This is confirmed by participants who have already gone through the process at consulates.
Some participants report that for other documents, such as 2-NDFL or diploma, translation and legalization may be required, but this does not apply to the registry office certificate.
It is also mentioned that in some cases, documents can be legalized at the Italian consulate in Russia if they were obtained there, but this is not necessary for obtaining nulla osta.
