04Legal context

Certification scope,
stated precisely.

The receiving authority always decides whether a document meets the requirements of a particular procedure. The summary below explains the legal framework without promising universal acceptance.

Jurisdiction	Legal validity and effect	Legal basis
Appenzell Ausserrhoden / Switzerland	An authorised public certifying official may certify that a copy, extract or other written reproduction corresponds with the document personally presented. The certification is a Swiss public document valid throughout Switzerland; its evidentiary effect remains subject to proof of inaccuracy.	Art. 20(b) BeurkG AR Art. 11 BeurkV AR Art. 9 Swiss Civil Code
Other jurisdictions	For international use, a qualifying Swiss public document may receive a Hague Apostille from the competent cantonal authority. The Apostille authenticates the signature, official capacity and seal; it does not certify the content of the translation. Acceptance remains subject to the receiving authority and the destination country.	Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, Art. 5 Cantonal Chancellery AR
