In order to upgrade its consular authentication (legalization) service, the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Zurich will outsource the authentication service to the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) from May 17, 2021. All consular authentication applications in our consular district shall be submitted through CVASC in Zurich, while the Chinese applicants may choose to submit their applications directly to the Consulate General after making an appointment.

The services of the CVASC include answering inquiries, receiving applications, fees collection and document issuance. Application assessment and approval of the authentication certificates remain to be decided by the Consulate General.

The consular districts of the Consulate General cover Zürich, Luzern, St. Gallen, Aargau, Graubünden, Schaffhausen, Schwyz, Glarus, Zug, Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Thurgau in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.
