Utilizing Swisscom Sign enables companies to digitally sign and transmit documents, eliminating the hassles associated with traditional postal exchanges and saving valuable time for all parties involved. Electronically signed documents can be digitally archived, ensuring legal compliance without the need for physical document scanning or storage systems. A simple one-time registration and identity verification process grants access to signing various contracts and documents securely and effortlessly, 24/7, from any location.

Swisscom Sign fully complies with the rigorous regulatory standards of ZertES (Switzerland) and eIDAS (EU), ensuring that signatures issued by Swisscom meet legal requirements in the EU and Switzerland.
Data security and privacy are paramount with Swisscom Sign, as data is securely stored within Switzerland and automatically deleted after 30 days.
Originally launched for residential customers across Switzerland last autumn, Swisscom Sign is now also available for private individuals free of charge, as long as it’s not utilized for commercial purposes. For enterprise clients and software solution providers, Swisscom Sign offers an API for direct integration into existing systems as needed.
