Hungary 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 Hungary (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).
Hungary is the strictest case in Europe on this point: certified translations for official use are, as a rule, the preserve of the state translation office, OFFI. A translation certified in Switzerland is generally not accepted in its place, however competent. Budget for the translation to be done in Hungary, and ask the receiving authority to confirm before you commission anything.
Because the translation has to happen in Hungary, the sequence matters: apostille the Swiss document first, then send it for translation there. A translation made before the apostille will not include it, and Hungarian offices read the apostille as part of the document. Getting this order wrong means paying for the translation twice.
