Translation Agency in Zurich: Certified Documents for Migration and Study (Online)

 

Zurich is the financial heart of Switzerland, a city of banks, innovation, and impeccable order. For thousands of Ukrainians who have arrived under Schutzstatus S (Protection Status S) or for work, Zurich has become a new home. However, life here is subject to strict cantonal rules.

Interacting with the Migration Office (Migrationsamt des Kantons Zürich), notaries, or financial institutions requires documents to be prepared with Swiss precision. Any error in the translation or certification can lead to automatic rejection. "Admiral" Translation Agency in Zurich offers a reliable solution: we provide official translations with the required notarization, adhering to the high standards of the Confederation, but at competitive prices.

 

Which Documents We Translate in Zurich

 

We cover the needs of all categories of Ukrainians in the Zurich region—from refugees to professionals.

 

1. For the Migration Office (Migrationsamt) and Status S

 

This is the primary state institution in the canton. For obtaining or extending permits (Ausweis S, B, C), and registering with the municipality (Gemeinde):

  • Official translation of birth and marriage certificates (for family registration).

  • Translation of police clearance certificates and documents regarding child custody.

 

2. Education (ETH Zürich / UZH)

 

Zurich is a global educational leader. For admission to ETH Zurich, UZH, or other technical schools:

  • We prepare translations of diplomas, school certificates, and transcripts for recognition in the Swiss system.

  • We adhere to the academic standards of the German-speaking Swiss universities.

 

3. Banks and Finance (Compliance)

 

As a financial center, Zurich banks strictly check the origin of funds.

  • Translation of financial documents, tax returns, and property sale agreements for compliance checks.

 

4. Legal and Administrative

 

  • Translation of judicial decisions, powers of attorney (for transactions with Ukraine), and documents required for marriage registration at the Civil Registry Office (Zivilstandsamt).

 

Translation Specifics in Zurich: Notarization is Key

 

In German-speaking Switzerland (including Zurich), the primary requirement for official use is the Notarized Certification of the translator's signature.

 

1. Notarized Certification (Notarielle Beglaubigung)

 

For official bodies (Migrationsamt, Zivilstandsamt), the translation must be certified by a Swiss notary (Notar). The Process: The professional translator signs the document, and then the Swiss notary officially certifies that the translator's signature is authentic. This grants the translation legal force. We organize this process by preparing the translation and submitting it for notarization by a Swiss notary.

 

2. Language Requirement

 

Official documents must be in one of the state languages. For Zurich, this is High German (Hochdeutsch), not the local dialect (Züritüütsch). We ensure the use of standard German terminology.

 

3. Apostille (Apostille)

 

All Ukrainian official documents must be legalized for use in Switzerland. An Apostille stamp is mandatory. Without it, the Migrationsamt or Zivilstandsamt will reject the document. We provide the "turnkey" service: Apostille in Ukraine + Certified Translation in Switzerland.

 

We Work Online with Swiss Post Delivery

 

We save you money by avoiding the high cost of local Swiss services.

Ordering Process:

  1. Send Documents: Send clear scans or photos of your documents (with Apostille) via the website, email, or messengers.

  2. Quote: A manager will clarify the requirements (Notarielle Beglaubigung) and provide the exact price. Our prices are significantly lower than local agencies' rates.

  3. Execution: The accredited translator performs the work, and we submit it for certification by a Swiss notary.

  4. Delivery (Swiss Post):

    • We send the finished originals with seals and the notary's signature via registered mail (Einschreiben) through Swiss Post.

    • The document is delivered next day (A-Post) to your address in Zurich, Winterthur, Uster, or any other location in the canton.
