ABC Office obtains, translates, legalises, files and delivers. Each service has its own specialist site — and the same team, the same address in Crissier and the same phone number behind it.
Each site does one thing and does it fully. Start where your need is — the teams pass work between them without you having to repeat yourself.
Civil-status records, criminal-record extracts, company papers — requested through official channels, then apostilled or legalised for the country that asks for them.
Swiss official documents, ordered online
Twenty-eight official Swiss documents at a flat price, from a birth certificate to a land registry extract. We request them from the competent commune, canton or federal office and deliver worldwide.
The Hague apostille, handled end to end
The apostille is issued by the chancellery of the canton that produced your document — not by a single national office. We identify the right one, file there and return the stamped original.
Consular legalisation from Switzerland
For countries outside the Hague Convention, an apostille is not enough: the document must pass the cantonal chancellery, the federal level and then the embassy. We walk it through all three.
Apostille and legalisation across Europe
Every European state designates its own competent authority, and several devolve it to regional courts or prefectures. We file in the right one and, where EU Regulation 2016/1191 applies, tell you when you need nothing at all.
Legalisation for the rest of the world
Gulf states, China, Vietnam, most of Africa and Latin America still require full consular chains, and each embassy sets its own rules on wording, validity and translation. We keep track so your file is not returned.
Certified translations accepted by courts, registries and consulates — and interpreters who hold up in a hearing, a notary’s office or a board meeting.
Certified translation in Switzerland
Swiss authorities do not recognise a single national sworn register: what counts is the translator a given canton or office accepts. We match the translator to the authority that will read the file.
Sworn translation for the European Union
A traducteur assermenté in France, a traduttore giurato in Italy, a beeidigter Übersetzer in Germany — the title, the stamp and the court that confers it change at every border. We use the one your file requires.
Certified translation, worldwide
Arabic, Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese and eighty more — with the certificate of accuracy, notarisation or embassy stamp the destination country expects.
Interpreters across Switzerland
Consecutive, simultaneous or whispered, on site or remote — for hearings, notarial deeds, medical appointments, works councils and negotiations, in all 26 cantons.
Official interpreters in Europe
Court-appointed and conference interpreters in the EU and the EEA, for cross-border proceedings, asylum interviews, arbitrations and shareholder meetings.
Official interpreters, worldwide
Time zones, rare languages and remote hearings. We staff depositions, trade missions and consular interviews wherever they take place, in person or over a secure link.
A registered address, the accounting and payroll behind it, and the notarial deeds that make each step official — handled by one team, in four languages.
A Swiss fiduciary, run digitally
Bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and annual accounts for SMEs, freelancers and foreign founders — across all 26 cantons, with one contact person and no office visit.
Swiss notarial deeds and certifications
Certified copies, signature authentications, powers of attorney and the public deeds a company incorporation or a property transfer requires — with notaries in the canton where the act must be drawn.
A real Swiss address, from CHF 29 a month
A street address in Crissier — not a post-office box — with same-day mail scanning, worldwide forwarding and full company domiciliation accepted by the commercial register.
Arriving in Switzerland is a sequence of deadlines. We take the ones that cost the most time: the permit file, the guarantor an agency will demand, the move itself, and the handover cleaning your landlord will inspect.
Swiss visas and residence permits
Schengen visits, work permits, family reunification and student files — assembled with the supporting documents the cantonal migration office actually checks, so the dossier is not sent back.
A private rental guarantor for newcomers
Swiss agencies ask for three payslips, a debt-collection extract and local rental history — which nobody has on arrival. SwissGuarantor assesses your file independently and, if it is approved, issues a private guarantee that strengthens the application.
Removals anywhere in Switzerland
Packing, transport, furniture lift, storage and end-of-tenancy cleaning for private and corporate moves — with an online estimate before anyone comes to visit.
Premium cleaning, booked in three minutes
Regular household cleaning and the handover clean Swiss landlords inspect line by line — vetted staff, insurance included, booked online without a site visit.
Same-day couriers across Switzerland, and engraved plaques cut to a tenth of a millimetre in our own workshop.
Courier and parcel delivery in Switzerland
Express pickup within two hours, same-day or scheduled — by bike, scooter, car or van, with a firm price shown before you book and proof of delivery on arrival.
Engraved plaques, made in Switzerland
Letterbox and doorbell plates, office signs, wayfinding and asset tags — designed live in the browser, engraved to a tenth of a millimetre and usually dispatched within 48 hours.
A document obtained in one canton, translated by someone who is not accepted there, then apostilled by the wrong chancellery, comes back. Keeping the chain inside one company is not a sales argument — it is the reason files clear the first time.
Your documents, translations, apostilles and shipping travel together. You explain your situation once.
Twenty-six cantons, dozens of embassies, and rules that differ at every counter. Knowing which one applies is most of the work.
One address in Crissier, one phone number, one e-mail — answered by people who can see every file in the group.
One company. ABC Office operates all twenty sites from Rue de Morges 22 in Crissier, canton of Vaud, under VAT number CHE-284.072.845. Each site is specialised so that its content, pricing and process match one job precisely.
Start with the outcome you need. If you need a Swiss document, begin at MySwissDocuments; if a foreign authority is asking for a stamp, begin at MyApostille or Legalizations. If you are unsure, write to order@abc-office.ch and describe the request you received.
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Obtaining a document, translating it, apostilling it and shipping it is a single chain we run internally — you are invoiced once and the file never leaves the group.
Most of our clients are abroad. Everything is handled remotely in English, French, German or Italian, and documents are delivered worldwide by registered post or DHL Express.
