Apostille for Notarized Passport Copy Switzerland

If you need to use a notarized copy of your passport abroad, obtaining an apostille is often a mandatory legal requirement. Our apostille service for notarized passport copies in Switzerland ensures that your identity document copy is properly legalized and accepted internationally without unnecessary delays.

A notarized passport copy is created when a Swiss notary public or authorized authority certifies that a photocopy of a passport is a true and accurate copy of the original document. The notary does not authenticate the passport itself, but rather confirms the authenticity of the copy and their own signature and seal. This type of document is widely required for international administrative, legal, financial, and immigration procedures.

When a notarized passport copy 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 notary’s signature and official seal. Without an apostille, foreign authorities may refuse to accept the document or request additional legalization.

What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Required?

An apostille is an official certification that validates a public or notarized document for international use. It confirms that the notary public or certifying authority was authorized and that the signature and seal on the notarization are genuine. Once apostilled, a notarized passport copy is legally recognized in all Hague Convention countries without further embassy or consular legalization.

Notarized passport copies commonly require an apostille for:

• Immigration and visa applications

• Residence permits and citizenship procedures

• International banking and compliance checks (KYC)

• Company formation and corporate representation

• Powers of attorney and legal filings abroad

• Academic and employment verification

Without an apostille, a notarized passport copy may not be accepted outside Switzerland.
