Apostille in Geneva

You are in Geneva and need an apostille? One rule sorts everything: the apostille follows the canton of the DOCUMENT, not your address. From Geneva, both cases — local document or document from elsewhere — are handled entirely online, without a single counter visit.

Documents issued in Geneva

A document signed in Geneva belongs to the canton of Geneva — yet in the standard route that changes nothing for you: a notarized certified copy is apostilled from your upload, no original needed. Only if your destination demands the apostille on the original do we file with State Chancellery in Genève — see our canton of Geneva page.

Living in Geneva, document from elsewhere

A Vaud diploma while you live in Geneva? A Zurich extract? The routing changes, your effort does not: one order, one uploaded copy, and we deal with whichever chancellery is competent — including the Federal Chancellery for federal documents.

From Geneva, in practice

Order online in 2 minutes, upload your documents right at checkout (or drop them off at our Crissier office), receive a scan by e-mail the day the apostille is affixed, then the original — registered mail included, DHL optional.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an apostille the same day at a counter in Geneva?
Chancellery counters have their own hours and queues, and only the competent canton’s counter can help — which may not be the one near Geneva. Our same-day express (service ×2) is usually the faster, and always the simpler, route.
My document comes from Geneva but I live abroad
Perfect use case: the apostille depends on the canton of issue, not on where you live. Order online, upload a copy, and choose DHL delivery to your country — many of our clients never set foot in Switzerland.
