Swiss Apostille from Wellington – Scan-Based Service

If you are based in Wellington and require a Swiss apostille, you’ll quickly find that the process cannot be completed in New Zealand. Swiss documents — including civil registry certificates, academic transcripts, commercial filings and notarised letters — must be authenticated in Switzerland, not at New Zealand government offices, before they are legally accepted overseas. Only Switzerland’s issuing authorities can validate Swiss documents for international use. Our scan-based Swiss apostille service makes the entire process simple, secure and fully remote for Wellington residents, families and businesses.

A Swiss apostille is an internationally recognised certification that confirms a document issued in Switzerland is genuine and legally valid for use in countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention. Wellington clients commonly need Swiss apostille services for overseas employment, migration applications, international education, marriage outside New Zealand, adoption, dual citizenship, business expansion, corporate compliance and overseas legal matters.

Our process starts online. Clients upload scanned or digital images of their Swiss documents through our encrypted submission platform. Our specialists carefully review each file to verify eligibility and identify any preliminary requirements — such as notarisation, requesting a certified duplicate, obtaining a newly issued civil registry document, or arranging an official translation into a recognised language. Addressing these steps early prevents delays once originals reach Switzerland.

Once verified, clients send their original documents by courier to our Swiss processing location. From that point, we manage the entire legalisation workflow on your behalf. Switzerland uses a decentralised authentication system, which means different authorities validate different document types:

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

• Universities & academic institutions — Diplomas, transcripts & student confirmations

• Swiss commercial registrars — Company filings, registry extracts & shareholder documentation

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

• Courts & national government authorities — Criminal background checks, legal rulings & federal certifications

Routing documents incorrectly is one of the most common causes of rejection — our team ensures they are submitted correctly the first time.

After authentication, we obtain the official Swiss apostille required for international legal recognition. Apostilled original documents are then:

✔ Returned to Wellington by secure tracked courier, or
✔ Forwarded directly to organisations including:
– Overseas universities
– Employers abroad
– Visa and immigration offices
– Lawyers or migration advisers
– Adoption authorities
– Licensing boards
– Corporate and government recipients
– Embassies & foreign consulates
