Certified true copies, made properly in Switzerland

Banks want a certified passport copy; universities want certified diploma copies; the original must never leave your hands. Swiss notaries certify copies with full evidentiary weight — we organise the certification, apostille and dispatch.

Bank onboarding — original stays home

Passport copy certified by a Vaud notary · apostilled · couriered to the private bank’s compliance — original never left the drawer.

Notarial weight

A Swiss notary attests the copy conforms to the original — the standard banks, registries and foreign authorities accept in lieu of originals.

Questions about this document

Do you need my original document?
The notary certifies against the original: either you mail it in (registered, insured, returned the same way) or we set up certification with a notary near you and handle the apostille chain after.
Can copies be certified from a scan?
No — a certified true copy legally requires sighting the original. Anyone offering otherwise is selling paper that fails at the counter. We do it properly.
Is a Swiss certified copy valid abroad?
With apostille for Hague Convention countries, yes — that’s the normal pack we prepare; embassy legalisation for the rest on request.
