You can unlock the qualified electronic signature (QES) by identifying yourself online via live video call or online banking (to sign under EU law) or face-to-face (to sign under Swiss law).
Tip! Do you usually sign your documents under Swiss law?
In this case, you'll have to verify your identity face-to-face before you can unlock the qualified electronic signature (QES). Find a location nearby.
Once it is done, just follow the steps below.
