Apostille for Ukraine

Ukraine 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 Ukraine

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

Which translation this destination needs — and when none is needed

A Ukrainian translation is required from every Swiss canton, and Ukrainian authorities generally want it notarised in Ukraine. Have the apostille translated together with the document — an office reading only the Swiss text cannot tell what the certificate attests. Where a Ukrainian consulate in Switzerland can certify the translation, that is often the faster route; ask them first.

Worth knowing before you order

Many Ukrainian nationals in Switzerland need documents recognised while unable to travel, and consular services have absorbed much of that work. If your situation involves a consulate rather than an office in Ukraine, tell us — what they require of an apostilled Swiss document is not always what a domestic registry would ask.

Frequently asked questions

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