Some useful information on official translations...
Translations for use with the Swiss authorities: if legalisation of the translator’s signature is required, this can be done at one of the notarial offices we work with in the cantons of Vaud, Valais or Fribourg or at the notarial office of your choice (fees vary between CHF 40.00 and CHF 50.00 per document, including VAT). Since 01/01/2011, notaries are the only competent authority for this procedure.
Translations for use abroad: original document should feature an original and official signature and a stamp issued by a notary. In addition to this, an apostille should be affixed to the document, pursuant to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. This can be done at the Bureau des légalisations, Lausanne district Préfecture, Place du Château 1, 1014 Lausanne. Tel. 021 316 41 11 (fee CHF 30.00).
