Swiss Apostille from Cape Town – Scan-Based Service

If you are based in Cape Town and require a Swiss apostille, you’ll quickly discover that the process cannot be completed through South African authorities. Swiss documents — including civil registry records, diplomas, commercial filings and notarised letters — must be authenticated in Switzerland, not in South Africa, before they are legally recognised abroad. Local apostille offices in South Africa only certify documents issued within the country. Our fully remote Swiss apostille service enables Cape Town residents, students, families and companies to complete the entire process without leaving home.

A Swiss apostille is an internationally recognised certificate that confirms a Swiss-issued document is genuine and legally valid for use in all member states of the Hague Apostille Convention. People in Cape Town often need apostilles for immigration and visa programmes, overseas study, employment abroad, international marriage, dual citizenship applications, adoption, commercial transactions, international contracting and cross-border compliance.

Our process is simple, secure and 100% digital at the start. Clients upload digital scans of their Swiss documents to our encrypted portal. Our team reviews the files to confirm eligibility and determines whether preliminary steps are required in Switzerland — such as ordering a fresh civil registry extract, notarising a signature, requesting a certified duplicate, or arranging a compliant translation. Identifying these requirements upfront prevents delays once original documents arrive in Switzerland.

After approval, clients courier their original documents to our Swiss processing office. From there, our team manages the entire legalisation workflow. Switzerland uses a decentralised authentication system:

• Civil registry offices — Birth, marriage & death certificates

• Swiss universities & education providers — Diplomas, transcripts & student records

• Commercial registrars — Company filings, registry extracts & business certifications

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

• Courts & federal authorities — Criminal record certificates, legal rulings & national records

Submitting documents to the wrong authority is one of the most common causes of delay — our process ensures correct routing every time.

Once authentication is complete, we obtain the official Swiss apostille validating your document for international use. Apostilled originals are returned to Cape Town by secure tracked courier, or delivered directly to:

• Universities

• Overseas employers

• Visa & immigration offices

• Lawyers & migration agents

• Adoption authorities

• Professional certification bodies

• Corporate partners or government departments

• Consulates & foreign embassies
