🏛️ Super-legalisation · full consular circuit

Consular legalisation via the embassy

Your document is bound for a country that hasn't joined the Hague Convention? The apostille won't do: you need super-legalisation — a multi-step circuit through the chancelleries and the destination country's embassy in Bern or Geneva. ABC knows every consulate and runs the full course.

Why super-legalisation is so tricky

Every embassy has its own rules: narrow filing hours, specific forms, prior-translation requirements, variable consular fees, sometimes an obligatory pass through the federal chancellery in Bern. One step out of order and the file goes back to square one — weeks lost.

This is precisely our trade: we run these circuits weekly and know each mission's real-world practice in Bern and Geneva. You hand over your document once; we orchestrate notary, chancelleries and consulate to the final stamp — with the certified translation slotted at the right point when required.

Each embassy sets its own, sometimes by document type. Our quote includes or itemises them — no surprises.
Does my country require super-legalisation?
If it isn't a Hague party, yes. In doubt, WhatsApp us the country and use — we confirm the exact circuit free.
Can you ship directly abroad?
Yes: to your address, your lawyer on site or straight to the receiving administration, tracked or express.
