Country & Cultural Context
Russian birth certificates are issued by ZAGS (ЗАГС — Запись Актов Гражданского Состояния), the civil registry office. Modern certificates follow a standardised format with security features, but Soviet-era certificates may use older layouts and handwritten entries. Russia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Russian documents can be apostilled for international use.
Document Format
Russian birth certificates contain: full name in Cyrillic, date and place of birth, parents' full names and nationalities, registration number, date of issue, and the official ZAGS stamp and seal.
