Order an apostille →A document signed in Herisau (school, registrar, notary, court) depends on the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden: its apostille comes from the State Chancellery in Herisau. We file there for you — see also our canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden page.
A Vaud diploma while you live in Herisau? 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.
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.
