Apostille & Legalization – What is the difference?

Apostille (Hague Convention)

The apostille is a simplified form of authentication recognized among the member states of the Hague Convention. In Switzerland, it is issued by the relevant cantonal office or the Federal Chancellery and confirms the authenticity of the signature and the signatory's position on an official document.

Typical applications:

Commercial register extracts
Notarized founding documents
Certificates of capacity to marry
Diplomas and certificates

Legalization (for non-Hague states)

For countries that are not party to the Hague Apostille Convention (e.g., Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and China), consular legalization is required. This usually takes place in several steps – from the cantonal office to the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
