Apostille for Tunisia

Tunisia 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 Tunisia

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

Which translation this destination needs — and when none is needed

Arabic is the language of the administration, and an Arabic translation is the prudent assumption. French is nevertheless widely used in Tunisian administrative practice, and a document from Geneva, Vaud, Neuchâtel or Jura is sometimes accepted in French without translation. Sometimes, not always — one question to the receiving office decides whether you pay for a translation or not.

Worth knowing before you order

Family and inheritance matters make up most of what we apostille for Tunisia, and they usually need several documents at once with a notary in Tunisia after our part. Describe the whole situation when you order rather than requesting one document at a time — we will tell you what the Swiss side can cover and what has to be done there.

Frequently asked questions

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