Turkey 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 Turkey (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).
A Turkish translation is required from every Swiss canton, and Turkish authorities usually want it done and notarised in Türkiye by a translator registered with a Turkish notary. A translation produced in Switzerland is often refused — not because of its quality, but because of who certified it. Confirm with the receiving office first.
Turkish civil status procedures often involve a nüfus office and require the document to name parents and place of birth in a particular way. Send us the written request if you have one: the difference between an accepted and a refused file here is usually a detail of what the document contains, not of the apostille.
