Legalisation at embassies and consulates
Countries that are not parties to the Hague Apostille Convention require a full legalisation chain: the document is certified by the competent Swiss authorities and then legalised by the embassy or consulate of the destination country in Switzerland.
Each embassy has its own rules on fees, appointments, forms and translations. We know these procedures, prepare a complete file and deal with the embassy on your behalf.
What we take care of
- Checking the requirements of the destination country
- Certified translation into the required language
- Notarial certification and cantonal or federal certification
- Legalisation by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs where required
- Submission to and collection from the embassy or consulate
- Secure return of your documents
Documents for business and private use
We legalise company documents for trade, tenders and branch registrations, as well as personal documents for marriages, residence permits, studies or employment abroad.
Foreign documents for Swiss authorities
For documents coming from abroad, we explain which certification the issuing country must provide and translate the documents for the Swiss authority.
