Austria is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention: a single apostille, affixed in Switzerland by the chancellery of the issuing canton, makes your Swiss document valid there — no embassy, no consulate, no further stamp.
Order an apostille →Always in the country that issued the document — so for your Swiss diploma, extract or certificate, at the state chancellery of the issuing canton, or at the Federal Chancellery for federal documents. We route it; you just name the canton.
Diplomas and transcripts for jobs and universities, civil-status records for marriages and residence, criminal-record extracts for visas, commercial-register extracts and powers of attorney for business.
Standard 1–2 business days plus delivery; same-day express available. Registered Swiss mail included — or DHL straight to Austria (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).
Austria works in German, so a document from Zurich, Bern, Basel, Lucerne or any other German-speaking canton arrives ready to use — no translation, no added cost, no delay. Only Geneva, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Jura and Ticino documents need one. Where you can choose the issuing office, and for civil status records you usually can, a German-speaking canton removes the step entirely.
Austrian and Swiss administrative German differ in vocabulary more than people expect — a Swiss Betreibungsregisterauszug has no exact Austrian equivalent, and an Austrian office may ask what it is. Sending a short covering note explaining the document type in Austrian terms usually prevents a query. Ask us and we will draft it with the order.
