Frequently asked questions

My document comes from Geneva but I live abroad — is that a problem?
None at all: the apostille depends on where the document was issued, not on where you live. Order online, upload a copy, and choose DHL delivery to your country at checkout.
What if my document is federal rather than cantonal?
Criminal-record extracts, SEM attestations and other federal documents are apostilled by the Federal Chancellery in Bern, not by the canton. Select “Federal document” in the order form and we route it there.
