For Algeria, an apostille has no effect: Swiss documents must follow the consular legalization chain — legalization by the competent Swiss chancellery, federal over-legalization where required, then the embassy or consulate of Algeria in Switzerland. Slower, stricter, and exactly what you want handled by people who do it weekly.
Order an apostille →1) Legalization by the state chancellery of the issuing canton (or the Federal Chancellery) · 2) over-legalization where the embassy requires it · 3) legalization by the diplomatic mission of Algeria. Each stamp builds on the previous one.
Embassies keep their own schedules and fee scales: allow 7–14 additional days after the Swiss steps, sometimes more. Express is not possible at the embassy stage — a complete, correctly-ordered file is the real accelerator, and that is our job.
The Swiss steps follow our standard prices (CHF 140 / 120). The embassy stage varies by country and document: we quote it flat, in writing, before you commit — no surprises.
