Poland 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 Poland (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).
A Polish translation is required from every Swiss canton, and Poland is strict about who produces it: registries generally accept only a tłumacz przysięgły, a translator sworn before the Polish Ministry of Justice. A Swiss certified translation is usually refused, not on quality but on standing. Budget for the translation to be done in Poland.
Polish civil status offices often require a document to be transcribed into the Polish register before it has effect — a step called umiejscowienie that happens in Poland after the apostille. We deliver a document ready for it. Ask the urząd stanu cywilnego what they want alongside it; the answer varies by office.
