Documents for Switzerland: legalization and translation
Studying, working, marrying or settling in Switzerland, or need to file a document from Switzerland in Peru? We tell you the exact procedure and handle it for you.
Apostille
Switzerland is party to the 1961 Hague Convention, so Peruvian public documents are legalized with an apostille from Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and documents from Switzerland with an apostille from the competent authority in Switzerland.
Peruvian documents for use in Switzerland
- Obtaining the document (if you don't have it, we request it for you).
- Apostille of the original at Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

- Digital delivery and/or shipping of the originals to Switzerland.
Documents from Switzerland for use in Peru
Documents issued in Switzerland must carry an apostille from Switzerland. If they are not in Spanish, they are filed in Peru with a certified or official translation. We handle the translation and, if needed, the apostille at source.

Requirements may change and vary by institution. We always verify the current procedure before starting your case.
Frequently asked questions
Is the translation done before or after the apostille for Switzerland?
Usually the original is apostilled first and then everything is translated, including the apostille. Some institutions in Switzerland ask for the reverse order; we confirm before starting.
Can I do everything from abroad?
Yes. Many clients contact us from Switzerland. We request, legalize and translate your Peruvian documents and ship them to you.
