Swiss Apostille from St. John’s – Scan-Based Service

If you’re based in St. John’s and need a Swiss apostille, you’ll quickly learn that the process cannot be completed within Canada. Swiss-issued documents must be authenticated in Switzerland before they are recognised abroad, meaning neither Newfoundland & Labrador authorities nor the Canadian federal government can legalise them. Our fully remote apostille service makes the entire process simple, secure and stress-free for residents and businesses in St. John’s.

A Swiss apostille is a government-issued certificate confirming that a Swiss document is genuine and legally valid for international use in all Hague Apostille Convention member countries. Individuals, families, students, professionals and organisations in St. John’s frequently need Swiss apostilles to support immigration applications, overseas education, employment abroad, marriage outside Canada, dual citizenship, adoption, corporate activity, cross-border trade and legal procedures.

Our streamlined digital process begins when you upload scanned copies of your Swiss documents through our secure online platform. Our specialists review your scans to confirm eligibility and identify whether any requirements need to be addressed first — such as notarisation, ordering a new registry extract, certified copies or a translation. Completing these steps up front prevents delays once original documents are sent overseas.

After your scans are approved, original documents are mailed to our processing office in Switzerland. From that point, we manage every administrative step. Switzerland uses a decentralised authentication model, with different authorities responsible for different document categories, including:

• Civil registry offices — Birth, marriage & death certificates

• Academic institutions & universities — Diplomas, transcripts & academic confirmations

• Commercial registrars — Corporate formation documents, registry extracts & filings

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

• Courts & federal agencies — Police reports, judicial rulings & national certificates

Routing documents to the wrong authority can cause rejections and delays — our specialists ensure the correct process every time.

Once verified, we obtain the official Swiss apostille that confirms the document holds full international validity. Apostilled originals are then returned to St. John’s using secure tracked courier — or shipped directly to whichever organisation requires them, including:

• Universities or licensing bodies

• Government immigration offices

• Overseas employers

• Consulates or embassies

• Lawyers or legal representatives

• Adoption & family services

• Corporate partners abroad
