Self-identification for QES under Swiss law

You can carry out the identification via an app or in the browser. For this, you need a valid identity document, a smartphone or a computer with a camera and a stable internet connection.

After self-identification, you can sign with a qualified electronic signature (QES) under Swiss law. It takes about 10 minutes, and you can verify your identity anytime.

Good to know! You can carry out self-identification 24/7. But remember that our partner will check your documents from Monday to Saturday between 7:00 and 22:00.

Here is how you can carry out self-identification from your profile:

Go to Signature standards and click on Increase
Then enter your mobile number and click on Next
If you've already entered your mobile number, follow the instructions.
Click on Increase to maximum and then on Switzerland
Select Online identification and then Self-Check

What's next? From here on, the identification process with our partner begins.

Choose how you want to verify your identity – via a smartphone app or in the browser on your computer
Scan your ID document and make a video of yourself
That's it! You are now ready to sign.

Good to know! Don't have an account and have been invited to sign with QES? Go to the signature invitation in your e-mail inbox to open the document. Then follow the instructions to verify your identity. You don't need an account to do this.
