Foreign employers, universities and registries routinely ask for an apostilled notarised document. Here is exactly how it works for this document — and how we take the whole errand off your hands.
Order an apostille →Here the apostille authenticates the notary, not the content. The chancellery confirms that the signature and seal belong to a notary duly authorised in that canton — it says nothing about whether the document says something true or sensible. It follows that the apostille must come from the canton where the notary practises, and nowhere else.
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 notarised document, mention it in the order notes — our partner network delivers both together.
Having a document notarised near home and then asking the chancellery of the canton where you work for the apostille. They cannot help: a chancellery only certifies its own notaries. Tell us the notary’s canton and we file there.
