There is no central land register in Switzerland.
Land registries are maintained in all cantons of Switzerland. It is the responsibility of the respective canton to update the cadastral register.
Some cantons have only one land registry, while others keep separate land registers for several municipalities or even one for each municipality.
Depending on the canton, the land registers are kept on paper or, in most cases, electronically.
The Federal Land Register is currently being established. Until it is finalized, the cantons are obliged to keep their existing records and continue to manage them. By the end of 2015, approximately 89% of the territory had been surveyed.
The Swiss land registry is responsible for ensuring the security of real estate transactions. The right to the object arises from the moment it is registered in the real estate register. Thus, the entry in the register is a formal necessity for the existence of a right (property, pledge of property, servitude). As a result, any registered right is considered valid.
The Swiss Confederation. Legalization and translation:
The Swiss Confederation is a party to the 1961 Hague Convention.
The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (the Apostille Convention or the Apostille Treaty), is an international treaty. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory states. A certification under the terms of the convention is called an apostille.
We can translate documents into any language for you.
