Apostille for Chile

Chile 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.

Where the apostille is affixed

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.

Documents typically requested by Chile

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.

Timing and delivery

Standard 1–2 business days plus delivery; same-day express available. Registered Swiss mail included — or DHL straight to Chile (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).

Which translation this destination needs — and when none is needed

A Spanish translation is required from every Swiss canton. Chile has been part of the Apostille Convention since 2016, and its administration adapted quickly — the apostille alone is enough, with no consular step. Ask the receiving office whether a Swiss certified translation is accepted or whether they want one produced in Chile; practice varies by institution.

Worth knowing before you order

Chilean universities and professional registries are the most frequent destination we see, and they usually want the diploma and the full transcript together, sometimes with a syllabus. The apostille covers the first two; the syllabus normally comes straight from your school and does not need one. Ask before assuming.

Frequently asked questions

And a document issued in Chile, to be used in Switzerland?
Same Convention, opposite direction: the apostille is affixed by the designated authority of Chile, not in Switzerland. We can point you to the right route there — and once apostilled, the document is accepted by Swiss authorities.
Will Chile also require a translation?
Frequently, when the document is not in an official language of the destination. The apostille never replaces a translation; mention it in the order notes and our partner network delivers both together.
