How the check works

1

Select your country

Choose the country that issued your passport. Your phone number can be from anywhere — Swisscom has no restriction on that.

2

Enter your mobile number

We run a live check against Swisscom's system to see if your number is already enrolled for QES signing. Takes about 10 seconds.

3

Get your result

If enrolled — you can sign QES documents immediately. If not yet enrolled — Swisscom verifies your identity automatically the first time you sign (about 2 minutes, no separate activation needed).

Switzerland vs EU — what's different?

The legal framework differs, but the result is the same: a legally binding Qualified Electronic Signature.
