Legalization by consulates in Switzerland

If you want to submit a document created abroad to the Swiss authorities (e.g. birth certificate), it is often necessary to get an apostille for this document from the country of origin. We will then translate this document for you and notarize it so that you can submit it to the Swiss authorities.

Requirements for certified translations in Switzerland

Certified translations in Switzerland are generally prepared by professional translators and can be certified by a notary, lawyer or other authorised body, depending on the requirements. For legal, financial or official documents, it is essential to commission a qualified translator to ensure the quality and accuracy of the translation.

 

UniTranslate is a global translation agency with many years of experience in producing professional translations. Our experienced translators are fluent in over 60 languages and are familiar with Swiss regulations and requirements for certified translations. Whether you need your documents translated into German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian, our team will provide you with accurate translations that are 100% accepted by the Swiss authorities or worldwide.

 

The certification usually takes the form of a written declaration that is attached to the translated document and delivered either as an electronic PDF file or in physical form. This certified translation can then be submitted together with the original document for your naturalisation, marriage, visa, legal, business or school application. 

 

In Switzerland, a certified translation with an apostille is often required. UniTranslate offers you the right type of legalisation in every case.

 

The requirements for legalisation vary depending on the purpose, canton or office. It is best to contact our experts with your enquiry to find out about the right type of certification.
