In 1961, Switzerland signed and ratified the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The purpose of this Convention is to simplify the processes required for a particular country to recognize the official documents issued by another country, by means of apostille certification.
Public documents and certificates that are issued in one of the countries that are signatories to the above Convention, and which bear the apostille stamp, are valid for presentation in Switzerland, without the need for additional verification/certification by the diplomatic/consular representative at the Embassy of Switzerland.
We obtain apostilles for use in Switzerland from all U.S. States.
Please select the state where your document was issued, signed, certified, or notarized
Important! Your document has to be apostilled in the state where it was issued (certified, notarized), e.g. if you were born in New Jersey, your birth certificate has to be apostilled in New Jersey, your power of attorney notarized by a Maryland notary public will need a Maryland apostille, etc.
EXAMPLE 1:
Mary was born in New Jersey and needs to submit a legal copy of her birth certificate to the Swiss authorities. She has already obtained a certified copy of her birth certificate from the appropriate office in New Jersey. Now she needs to obtain an apostille from the Secretary of State of New Jersey, and her document will be valid and legal in Switzerland. Read more about New Jersey apostilles...
