The table below contains further SLA values per procedure:

  • Procedure and partner: specific procedure for which SLA values are specified.
  • Operation Time: Time during which registrations can take place. For services with human processing (also in the background) it takes some time until the results are validated.
  • Processing time until submission: Due to background checks, there may be further processing times after completion of the identification until the result of the identification has been submitted to Swisscom Trust Services and the first signature can be executed. The processing time is only valid within the operation time.
  • Link expiry times: In the event of registration via the Swisscom Trust Services registration portal, Users will receive links with the redirects to the identification service providers, so that in the event of an error or cancellation, the identification can be repeated free of charge. The links are sent to the recipient by e-mail after payment or redemption of the voucher. They are subject to expiry dates and must be used promptly. If the identification has not been redeemed within the time specified below or has been restarted after an error, the identifications must be purchased again. The expiry time is always calculated from the date of purchase and is extended after a failed attempt. In case methods are offered via the Store these parameters are negligible.
  • Please note the public holidays of the partners, which generally have the same effect as Sundays:
    • Switzerland: 1 and 2 January, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Whit Monday, Ascension Day, 1 August, 25 and 26 December
