From point 2 – Create account
(incl. further instructions for signature profiles)

1. Create the prerequisites – get identified

In order to be able to sign electronically in a qualified manner, you must identify yourself. Through our partner Swisscom Trust Services You can choose between various SRS identification methods, whereby we particularly recommend the free on-site identification in a Swisscom shop. You can find more information on this in our identification guide.

 

Familiarize yourself with the Swisscom Mobile ID beforehand. The Mobile ID is an indispensable component for the use of eSignR and for the security of your qualified signature. Install and activate the Mobile ID with the Mobile ID App (not the Mobile ID SIM!) before you visit the Swisscom store and make sure to note down the MobileID recovery code!

 

For more information, visit Swisscom’s website at: mobileid.ch and https://srsident.trustservices.swisscom.com/srs-direct/.

2. Create an account

To use eSignR, you must first create an account in the eSignR web application and have your email address verified. https://app.esignr.ch/webapp/

3. Complete identification

In order to be able to sign with the eSignR software (client) in a qualified manner, you must check in the eSignR online portal whether you have identified yourself to Swisscom.

4. Create an access code

To log in to the eSignR software, you need an access code (access key for the eSignR software), which can be generated in the online portal.

 

The access code is only made visible when it is generated. If you forget the access code, you can create a new access code. This will then automatically cause the old access code to expire.
