Foreign employers, universities and registries routinely ask for an apostilled criminal record extract. Here is exactly how it works for this document — and how we take the whole errand off your hands.
Order an apostille →A Swiss criminal record extract is a federal document: its apostille comes from the Federal Chancellery in Bern, not from a canton. Select “Federal document” when ordering — we file directly at the right counter.
Neither leaves your hands: a notary establishes a certified true copy from your uploaded PDF or photo, and the apostille is affixed to that copy — included in the price. If a destination exceptionally insists on the apostilled original, tell us and we organise it by registered mail.
An apostille authenticates, it does not translate. If the receiving authority also wants a certified translation of your criminal record extract, mention it in the order notes — our partner network delivers both together.
