Swiss Apostille from Porto Alegre – Scan-Based Service

The Swiss Apostille from Porto Alegre – Scan-Based Service provides residents, expatriates, students, legal professionals and internationally active companies across Porto Alegre and Rio Grande do Sul with a fast, secure and fully remote solution for legalising Swiss-issued documents. Apostilles.ch eliminates the need to ship originals abroad, stand in consulate lines or travel to São Paulo or Brasília. Porto Alegre clients simply upload scanned copies and Swiss-based specialists complete the entire apostille procedure in Switzerland.

A Swiss apostille is an internationally recognised certification under the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies that a Swiss public document is authentic and accepted by immigration services, courts, employers, universities, chambers of commerce, banks, licensing boards and government ministries — across Brazil, Switzerland, Europe, North America and all Convention countries. Apostilles are typically required for work visas, overseas degree recognition, university admissions abroad, dual citizenship registrations, inheritance cases, powers of attorney and cross-border commercial activity.

Apostilles.ch simplifies and digitises the legalisation process. Porto Alegre residents upload high-resolution document scans through a secure online system. Our Swiss apostille experts confirm whether the document is eligible, assess whether the request requires cantonal or federal authentication and determine whether notarisation must occur before apostille issuance. This expert pre-screening eliminates delays and prevents submission errors.

Swiss documents commonly requiring apostille certification include:
✔ Birth, marriage & death certificates
✔ Diplomas, degrees, transcripts & university records
✔ Swiss criminal record (“Strafregister”) certificates
✔ Notarial acts, declarations & powers of attorney
✔ Swiss commercial register extracts & corporate filings
✔ Certificates of origin & export/trade documentation

Once verified, Apostilles.ch completes the entire process within Switzerland, coordinating only with the proper issuing authorities. Porto Alegre clients never need to send original documents abroad, ensuring faster turnaround, retaining privacy and eliminating courier loss risk.
