Portugal 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 Portugal (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).
A certified Portuguese translation is needed from every Swiss canton. One thing to settle first: Portugal and Brazil use different Portuguese, and a translation prepared for one is not always accepted by the other. Tell us which country the file is actually for, not merely which language it needs.
Portugal maintains a large network of consulates in Switzerland and a substantial Portuguese community here, which means a lot of documents travel in both directions. If your document was issued in Portugal and is needed in Switzerland, the apostille comes from the Portuguese authority, not from us — we can tell you which one, but we cannot affix it.
