Sending business or legal documentation to Switzerland is more complicated than many people suspect. It must first be notarized, and then apostilled. The process validates either your signature or an official document. As each country and document are different, with specific requirements, the process can get very complicated.

Vancouver Apostille specializes in Swiss apostille work, and we would be pleased to assist you. Because getting apostilles in Canada can be confusing, we've simplified the process for our clients. Simply bring us your original documentation, and we'll do the rest on your behalf. Feel free to send us an email(link sends e-mail) or call us at 604-685-2326 for more specific information.

What is the Apostille Procedure?

1. when a translation is required, we arrange for a BC certified translation.
2. we prepare and affix our notarial certificate to your documentation, and apply our signature and notarial seal.
3. for governmental authentication, we deal with the BC Ministry of Attorney General in Victoria, so we keep track of all their current requirements, fees, and timing.

Typical Documents Requiring an Apostille in Switzerland

Some of the most common types of documents that require an apostille (formerly authentication and legalization) for use in Switzerland are:

• international powers of attorney and property transfers
• identification, passport, visa and citizenship papers
• death, wills and probate documents
• notarizations and acknowledgments
• corporate records, commercial documents and letters of intent
• diplomas, degrees and academic transcripts
• certified true copies and notarizations of other important documents

We have years of experience working with BC and Canadian government authorities, as well as foreign consulates and embassies in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa. We navigate the complex and bureaucratic apostille process on your behalf, to ensure your important documents become legal and valid for use in Switzerland.
