Frequently Asked Questions About Notarial Services in Switzerland

Here are answers to common questions about our services and the legal procedures we support in Switzerland.

What documents require notarization in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, documents related to real estate, marriage contracts, company formation, inheritance agreements, and certain powers of attorney must be notarized. Notarization provides legal recognition and ensures that the document has been created and signed in accordance with Swiss law. Without it, many documents may be deemed invalid in court or by government authorities. Always consult a qualified notary to verify which documents require this process.

Can I use your services if I am not a Swiss resident?

Yes, our notary office regularly works with international clients. You do not need to be a Swiss resident to receive our services. Many legal procedures can be initiated remotely, though personal identification may be required at a later stage. Our multilingual staff can help you navigate the Swiss legal system and ensure all your documents are compliant.

How long does it take to complete a notarization?

The duration depends on the complexity of the matter. Simple notarizations can be completed within 24 to 48 hours, while more complex procedures such as real estate transactions or company formations may take several days. We always aim to work efficiently and will inform you upfront of expected timelines.

What are the typical fees for your services?

Fees vary based on the type of service and canton-specific regulations. For example, a simple power of attorney may cost around 150 CHF, while a company formation package could range from 1200 to 2500 CHF. We provide a clear estimate before proceeding, with no hidden costs.

Do I need to bring original documents for notarization?

Yes, original documents are generally required to verify authenticity. You may also need to present valid identification, such as a passport or Swiss ID. If any documents are in a foreign language, we might require certified translations. Always check with us before your appointment to ensure you bring everything necessary.
