Federal Account: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use a Federal Account to manage your digital interactions with government offices in Switzerland.
A Federal Account is a digital tool that allows you to manage your various interactions with federal offices online. It serves as a centralized way to handle administrative tasks through a single digital identity.
Who it's for
This service is available to all residents living in Switzerland. If you reside in the country, you are eligible to use this digital system to facilitate your interactions with the federal government.
What you get
By creating an account, you gain a way to handle your digital communications and administrative tasks with federal government offices through a single interface. This allows you to manage your digital interactions more efficiently, moving away from traditional paper-based processes and toward a streamlined digital experience with federal authorities.
What it costs you
There is no cost to use this service; it is free for residents to set up and utilize for their digital administrative needs.
The catch to know
While the account itself is available to residents, there is a specific requirement for those who need comprehensive access. To gain full access to all features and services provided by the federal offices, you will need to use a SwissID. Without this, your ability to interact with certain digital government services may be limited.
