What is SwissID?

SwissID is Switzerland's standardised digital identity, providing a single secure login for over 200 e-government and private online services. It is issued by SwissSign, a trust service provider recognised by the Swiss federal government, whose owners include Swiss Post, Swisscom, the federal railways, and a number of leading banks and insurers. This backing makes SwissID a widely recognised way for people in Switzerland to identify themselves online.

A SwissID starts as a basic login and can be raised to a verified level once the person's identity has been checked against an official identity document. To authenticate, the person signs in with SwissID and confirms on their phone, and at the verified level the scheme can return checked identity details such as name and date of birth. The strength of the result depends on the security level the person has reached during registration.

How verification works

Person authenticates with SwissID

The customer signs in with their SwissID and confirms on their phone to prove who they are, using the security level they reached during registration.

Verified identity confirmed

At the verified level, where the person's identity has been checked against an official document, the scheme returns checked details such as name and date of birth.

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify a SwissID identity?

The person signs in with SwissID and confirms on their phone. At the verified level, where their identity has been checked against an official document, the scheme returns checked details such as name and date of birth to your service.

What data does SwissID return?

At the verified security level, SwissID can return checked identity details such as the person's name and date of birth. The strength of the result depends on the level the person reached during registration, so a basic login returns less than a verified account.

Is SwissID mandatory in Switzerland?

SwissID is a private, government-recognised digital identity rather than a compulsory state credential, and it is separate from the planned Swiss state e-ID. It is widely used as a single login across e-government and private services.

How does SwissID verification work with Zenoo?

It runs as a pre-built connector. The person authenticates with SwissID, and Zenoo returns a verified result with the confirmed identity details and a full audit trail.
