What we can do is run every step in parallel where possible — notarized documents go to UD immediately, and as soon as UD is finished we submit them to the apostille service the same day. You receive automatic status updates by email every time your case moves forward.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This means Swedish documents only need a single apostille stamp from the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs to be recognized as authentic in Bosnia and Herzegovina — no embassy step is required.
Apostille is faster and cheaper than the full embassy chain non-Hague countries require. Private documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, education diplomas etc.) still need to be notarized by Notarius Publicus first, but company documents from Bolagsverket and Skatteverket go directly to UD for apostille.
Always check with the recipient in Bosnia and Herzegovina whether they require a certified translation in addition to the apostille — this is a separate step we can also handle for you.
