Swiss Apostille from Hamilton – Scan-Based Service

If you are based in Hamilton and need a Swiss apostille, you may quickly discover that the process cannot be completed in New Zealand. Swiss-issued documents—including civil registry certificates, business records, academic qualifications and notarised documents—must be authenticated in Switzerland, not at NZ government offices, before they are accepted overseas. The New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs only apostilles documents issued in New Zealand. Our fully remote service enables Hamilton residents, families, students, businesses and legal professionals to complete the entire Swiss apostille process online, without travel, embassies or uncertainty.

A Swiss apostille is an internationally recognised certification that confirms a Swiss document is genuine and legally valid for use abroad in all Hague Apostille Convention countries. People in Hamilton commonly need a Swiss apostille for immigration, overseas employment, university admissions abroad, marriage overseas, adoption, business expansion, contract execution, dual citizenship, and compliance with foreign authorities.

Our process is secure, simple and 100% digital at the start. Clients upload scanned copies of their Swiss documents through our encrypted submission platform. Our Swiss document specialists review each file to confirm eligibility and identify whether any preparatory work is needed—such as ordering a newly issued civil registry extract, notarising a signature, requesting a certified copy, or organising a translation into a recognised language.

Once the initial verification is complete, clients courier their original documents to our Swiss processing centre, where our expert team manages all remaining steps. Switzerland uses a decentralised legalisation system, which means different authorities authenticate different types of documents:

• Swiss civil registry offices — Birth, marriage & death certificates

• Universities & academic institutions — Diplomas, degrees & transcripts

• Swiss commercial registrars — Company filings, registry extracts & corporate records

• Licensed Swiss notaries — Powers of attorney, sworn statements & notarised documents

• Courts & federal agencies — Criminal record checks, legal rulings & federal certificates

Submitting documents to the wrong office causes delays—our expertise ensures accurate routing every time.

Once authentication is complete, we obtain the official Swiss apostille confirming the document’s validity abroad. Apostilled originals are then returned to Hamilton via secure tracked courier—or forwarded straight to:

• Overseas universities

• Employers abroad

• Immigration or visa offices

• Consulates & embassies

• Lawyers or migration advisers

• Licensing & professional authorities

• Adoption & family-law departments

• Corporate partners or government bodies

Hamilton clients most frequently apostille:

• Birth, marriage & death certificates

• Diplomas, degrees & academic transcripts

• Powers of attorney & notarised letters

• Business registration papers & contracts
