Apostille for Affidavit of Address in Switzerland

An Affidavit of Address is a sworn statement confirming a person’s residential address and is often required for international procedures such as immigration applications, banking compliance, company formation, inheritance matters, or foreign legal proceedings. When this document is to be used outside of Switzerland, it usually must be authenticated with an apostille (apostille for Affidavit of Address Switzerland).

An apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature, seal, and authority of the official who notarised or certified the affidavit. Switzerland is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning that an apostille issued in Switzerland is recognised in all other member countries without further legalisation.

When Is an Apostille Required?

You will typically need an apostille for an Affidavit of Address if the document is being submitted to:

• Foreign banks or financial institutions

• Immigration or visa authorities

• Overseas courts or legal representatives

• International employers or universities

• Foreign government bodies

Without an apostille, Swiss documents are often rejected abroad, causing delays or additional costs.

How the Apostille Process Works in Switzerland

For an Affidavit of Address to be apostilled in Switzerland, it must first be:

1. Properly signed and notarised by a Swiss notary, or

2. Certified by a competent Swiss authority (depending on the canton and document type)

Once notarised, the document is submitted to the cantonal competent authority, which issues the apostille. The apostille confirms that the notary or official was authorised at the time of signing.

Each canton in Switzerland has its own apostille authority, and requirements may vary slightly, making local expertise essential.
