Pay for cost of execution of request at National Historical Archives of Belarus

brianwilliamsokolowsky1

I emailed the National Historical Archives of Belarus about a year ago and I finally got a response. "Cost of execution of a request (search for information) about birth (or marriage, death) in respect of 1 person will be 55 Belarusian Rubles." Has anyone submitted a request for information to the National Historical Archives of Belarus? How did you pay the 55 Belarusian Rubles?

Hello Brian…About a year ago, I too submitted a similar request to the Belarus Historical Archives, but they haven't contacted me yet. 55 Belarusian Rubles is about $17 dollars. Easiest way to pay would be a credit card since they would handle the exchange rate + small fee ($2-5?). The Archives may not accept credit cards in which case your bank will handle the transfer…again for a small fee.

Wire transfer fees at banks run in the $50 to $100 range, in my experience.
