Apostille for Luxembourg

Luxembourg 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 Luxembourg

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 Luxembourg (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).

Which translation this destination needs — and when none is needed

Luxembourg is the friendliest destination in Europe for a Swiss document, because French and German are both official there. A document from Geneva, Vaud, Neuchâtel or Jura is accepted in French; one from Zurich, Bern, Basel or any German-speaking canton is accepted in German. Whichever canton issued yours, no translation is needed — the only Swiss document that might need one is a Ticinese record in Italian.

Worth knowing before you order

A large share of the cross-border workforce in Luxembourg lives in France, Belgium or Germany, and employers there are used to foreign documents arriving in several languages. That makes the administrative side unusually smooth — but it also means nobody will tell you if you send the wrong document type. Check what is being asked for, not just which language.

Frequently asked questions

And a document issued in Luxembourg, to be used in Switzerland?
Same Convention, opposite direction: the apostille is affixed by the designated authority of Luxembourg, not in Switzerland. We can point you to the right route there — and once apostilled, the document is accepted by Swiss authorities.
Will Luxembourg 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.
