Apostille for the United Kingdom

the United Kingdom is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention: a single apostille, affixed in Switzerland by the chancellery of the issuing canton, makes your Swiss document valid there โ€” no embassy, no consulate, no further stamp.

Where the apostille is affixed

Always in the country that issued the document โ€” so for your Swiss diploma, extract or certificate, at the state chancellery of the issuing canton, or at the Federal Chancellery for federal documents. We route it; you just name the canton.

Documents typically requested by United Kingdom

Diplomas and transcripts for jobs and universities, civil-status records for marriages and residence, criminal-record extracts for visas, commercial-register extracts and powers of attorney for business.

Timing and delivery

Standard 1โ€“2 business days plus delivery; same-day express available. Registered Swiss mail included โ€” or DHL straight to the United Kingdom (CHF 140 worldwide, CHF 90 in Europe).

Frequently asked questions

And a document issued in the United Kingdom, to be used in Switzerland?
Same Convention, opposite direction: the apostille is affixed by the designated authority of United Kingdom, not in Switzerland. We can point you to the right route there โ€” and once apostilled, the document is accepted by Swiss authorities.
Will United Kingdom also require a translation?
Frequently, when the document is not in an official language of the destination. The apostille never replaces a translation; mention it in the order notes and our partner network delivers both together.
