What the procedure requires
The State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) processes applications for the recognition of foreign diplomas via an electronic file. Documents that are not in a Swiss official language or in English must be accompanied by a translation by a professional translator. Always consult the SERI website for the current requirements of your profession.
The documents we translate most often
- Diplomas and school-leaving certificates
- Transcripts of records and diploma supplements
- Curricula and course descriptions
- Employment references and internship certificates
- Licences to practise and certificates of good standing
Why digital is ideal here
The file is submitted online: a paper original would be scanned anyway. The signed PDF saves you that step and remains verifiable by the authority. Turnaround: 4 to 24 hours depending on volume.
Do I need to translate both the diploma and the transcript?
That depends on the profession and what the competent authority requires. Send us the list of requested documents and we will tell you what to translate.
Do you translate diplomas from other languages?
Yes, from many languages into French, German, Italian or English. Ask us for a quote with the documents concerned.
