Can I put an apostille on a criminal record certificate myself?

You can, but prepare to stand in long lines: first at a bank representative office to pay the state duty, and then at the authority itself.

I want to thank this company. In the morning I sent a contract of a few pages to be translated into English, and in the evening I received the finished contract. It was very convenient to be able to order and pay online. The prices are really reasonable, and the quality is even better than expected.
