Swiss Apostille from Dunedin – Scan-Based Service

If you’re based in Dunedin and require a Swiss apostille, you’ll quickly realise that the process cannot be completed in New Zealand. Swiss documents — including civil registry extracts, academic qualifications, business records and notarised signatures — must be authenticated inside Switzerland, not through any New Zealand authority, before they are legally accepted abroad. NZ’s Department of Internal Affairs only apostilles documents issued locally. Our fully remote Swiss apostille service gives Dunedin residents and organisations direct access to the Swiss legalisation process without travel, embassies or confusion.

A Swiss apostille is an internationally recognised certificate confirming that a Swiss-issued document is authentic and legally valid for use in all countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention. Dunedin residents often require apostilles for overseas job applications, university enrolment abroad, migration visas, marriage overseas, dual citizenship, adoption, professional licensing, business expansion, contract execution or compliance with foreign legal systems.

Our streamlined process begins online. Clients upload scanned images of their documents through our secure encrypted portal. Our document specialists review each scan to confirm eligibility and identify whether preliminary steps must be completed in Switzerland — such as ordering a new civil registry copy, notarising a document, obtaining a certified duplicate or preparing an accredited translation. Addressing these steps up front prevents administrative delays later.

Once approved, clients send their original documents to our Swiss processing centre. From that point forward, we manage every required stage of authentication. Switzerland uses a decentralised legalisation system, where different authorities verify specific document types:

• Civil registry offices — Birth, marriage & death certificates

• Swiss universities & academic bodies — Diplomas, transcripts & education confirmations

• Commercial registrars — Business registry extracts, incorporation documents & corporate filings

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

• Courts & federal authorities — Criminal record checks, judicial decisions & national certifications

Incorrect routing is one of the most common causes of delay — our specialists ensure every item reaches the correct authority the first time.

Once authentication is complete, we obtain the official Swiss apostille certifying global legal validity. Apostilled originals are then returned to Dunedin by secure tracked courier — or delivered directly to:

• Overseas universities

• Employers abroad

• Visa processing centres

• Lawyers or migration agents

• Licensing boards & professional bodies

• Adoption & family-law authorities

• Embassies & consulates

• Corporate or government offices worldwide

Dunedin residents most commonly apostille:

• Birth, marriage & death certificates
