Apostille for a Swiss sworn translation

Foreign employers, universities and registries routinely ask for an apostilled sworn translation. Here is exactly how it works for this document — and how we take the whole errand off your hands.

Where the apostille is affixed

The apostille comes from the state chancellery of the canton linked to your sworn translation — where it was issued or where its signing officer is based. Tell us the canton in the order form; the routing is our job.

Original or certified copy?

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.

Translation often required

An apostille authenticates, it does not translate. If the receiving authority also wants a certified translation of your sworn translation, mention it in the order notes — our partner network delivers both together.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries accept an apostilled sworn translation?
All 120+ Hague Convention member states — from Germany to Brazil to China. For non-members (UAE, Qatar, Vietnam…), the consular chain replaces the apostille; order normally and we quote the embassy stage first.
How long for a sworn translation?
Standard 1–2 business days from receipt, mostly the chancellery’s own turnaround. Same-day express doubles the service price and jumps every queue.
