How can I order electronic seals as a company?
To apply for an electronic seal, the company must appoint one or more persons authorised to act on its behalf. These persons must be entered in the commercial or companies register or hold a corresponding power of attorney from the company.
Seals in accordance with ZertES can be ordered via the Swisscom seal portal.
-
Advanced seals (ZertES): direct order via the portal.
-
Regulated seals (ZertES): order via the portal, but use only with an approved signature/approval solution.
-
Seals in accordance with eIDAS (advanced or qualified): the online ordering process does not currently support these seals. Ordering and onboarding therefore currently take place via Swisscom or an appropriate partner.
Important: The certificate application must without fail be signed by the company’s authorized signatories with a qualified electronic signature (QES).
Please note: Electronic seals can only be issued in Switzerland for companies that are entered in the UID register.
