If you need to use a Swiss Certificate of Nationality abroad, obtaining an apostille is often a mandatory legal requirement. Our apostille service for Certificates of Nationality issued in Switzerland ensures that your nationality document is properly legalized and accepted internationally without unnecessary delays (apostille for Certificate of Nationality Switzerland).

A Swiss Certificate of Nationality is an official document issued by a Swiss authority, such as a cantonal authority, municipal office, or the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM). It officially confirms a person’s Swiss nationality or citizenship status and may include details such as full name, date of birth, place of origin (Heimatort / lieu d’origine), and nationality status. This certificate is frequently required for international administrative, legal, and governmental procedures.

When a Swiss Certificate of Nationality is presented in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, it must be apostilled in Switzerland to verify the authenticity of the issuing authority’s signature and official seal. Without an apostille, foreign authorities may refuse to recognize the document or request additional legalization steps.

What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Required?

It confirms that the document was issued by a competent Swiss authority and that the signature and seal are genuine. Once apostilled, a Swiss Certificate of Nationality is legally recognized in all Hague Convention countries without the need for embassy or consular legalization.
