Apostille for Switzerland and Apostille Treaty

Switzerland joined the Hague (Apostille) Convention on March 11, 1973. The Apostille Convention is an agreement between more than 50 countries signed in 1961. The objective of the treaty was to abolish the requirements of consular legalization of the public documents meant for foreign countries, the parties to the above mentioned convention.

Therefore, if a document is intended to be presented before official authorities in Switzerland, it is essential to be apostilled in the other country – a member of the apostille agreement, in order to be recognized abroad.

Obtaining the documents meant for Switzerland apostilled is not a difficult procedure. However, it is advised to keep in mind that, each document is prepared in a different way. For example, a document signed by an individual and notarized by a Notary Public, is typically prepared in two easy steps –authentication and apostille. While such documents as Vital Records, FBI Background Check Certificate, corporate and business documents, etc. require in–depth knowledge of which agencies and departments are involved in the process of obtaining apostille.
