Legalisation is a process of document authentication observed by international governments. If you intend to use a document overseas then local authorities require it to be legalised before it can be considered valid. Each country has its own legalisation requirements determined by the type of document being legalised and its intended use.
Common documents that may require legalisation are:
- Certificate of Origin
- Invoice
- Business contracts
- Export documents
- Power of Attorney
- Adoption papers
- Marriage/birth certificates
- Education certificates
- Medical documents
- Certificate of Free Sale
Legalisation is a multi-step process. Often your document must be legalised by a local government, the Federal government and at the Embassy of the destination country to be considered genuine and valid.

Legalisation Services Offered:
Apostille: An Apostille is a stamp that ensures the authenticity of your official documents. Apostilles are issued by the cantonal State Chancellery certifying your documents as genuine and are required by the following countries.
Legalisation: When the country in which you intend to use your document has not signed the Apostille Treaty, a legalisation is required. Whichever process you need CIBTvisas can arrange all stages of your legalisation process.
Translations: In some cases governments will require that documents be translated. We can translate your documents for use by the appropriate embassy or government agency. We can also translate foreign documents into German or French.
Notarisation: Notarisation verifies the authenticity of facts set out in a document and some countries require notarization. We provide notarisation services to assure that your important documents are considered valid and legal.
