What does this SMS mean?
We are sending you this SMS because you registered for the qualified electronic signature (QES).
With this SMS, we would like to let you know that your valid identification document (ID or passport) is about to expire or, for security reasons, your identification has been too long ago. Therefore, your QES registration will be automatically deleted, and you must register for QES again to continue signing electronically.
What are my options for QES re-registration?
- Free identification and registration in selected Swisscom shops in Switzerland
- Identification and registration by an RA agent if your company serves as an RA agency.
- Online identification (e.g., video, eID, selfie, or auto identification) with a valid voucher or by credit card payment via our SRS Ident website
