Swisscom Sign – digital signatures for businesses

The price per signature is CHF 2.40 for commercial use. The party requesting the signing bears the cost of all signatures on the document. To sign a document with two signatories, for example, it would cost CHF 4.80. The one-time identity verification is free of charge.

With the optional Swisscom Sign Cockpit, you can add additional members to your organisation and pay for signatures using a centrally stored payment method. You can subscribe to the Swisscom Sign Cockpit for CHF 9.90 per month.

To invite other parties to co-sign a document:

• Position the signature field(s) on the document for the person/people you want to sign
• Pay the cost of the additional signature(s)
• Each invited person will receive an e-mail with the link to our website. They then scan the QR code with their smartphone and access the document to be signed.
• If the invited person is not yet registered, they will first need to verify their identity using a valid identity document (ID card or passport)
• The invitee provides their legal signature on the document digitally
• You receive a confirmation e-mail that the signing process has been completed and that the document is ready for download

Signed documents can be found in your My Swisscom app. These will be deleted automatically 30 days after the signature process is complete. You should therefore download the documents and save them to your device or the cloud before they are deleted. 

If you have been invited to sign documents, you can download the signed document again within 30 days. To do this, click on the link you received by e-mail.

As an administrator or member of an organisation in the Swisscom Sign Cockpit, you can view and download signed documents in My Signature Processes for 30 days after the signing process has been completed.

A scanned signature does not meet the requirements for a qualified electronic signature (QES). So if you sign on a piece of paper, scan it and use it digitally, it is not legally equivalent to your handwritten signature, because it is easy to fake or reproduce.

Swisscom Sign is more than a digital signature for SMEs: the qualified electronic signature (QES) is equivalent to a handwritten signature under Swiss law and is valid within the entire jurisdiction of Switzerland. With a QES, you can electronically sign, with legal effect, all documents that would previously have been signed by hand (simple written form). 

With a QES, you can electronically sign documents at any time and legally complete business processes online using electronic signatures and seals. If you need to sign a document that falls under European jurisdiction, please choose our eIDAS-compliant QES.

Before your SME can use Swisscom Sign, you will first need to complete the one-time registration and identity verification process, as follows:

• Open sign.swisscom.ch (https://sign.swisscom.ch/sign)
• Scan the on-screen QR code with your smartphone
• Complete the one-time identity verification using your valid identity document
  

After that, you can use your smartphone and the My Swisscom app to digitally sign documents for your SME and send them to other parties to be signed digitally.

You can invite someone to co-sign a document. Proceed as follows: 

• Upload the document to sign.swisscom.ch or upload using the My Swisscom app
• Provide the contact details of all relevant parties
• Position signature fields on the document for all the people you want to sign
• Pay the cost of your digital signature as well as additional signatures 
• Each invited person will receive an e-mail with the link to our website. They then scan the QR code with their smartphone and access the document to be signed.
• If the invited people are not yet registered, they will first need to verify their identity using a valid identity document
• The invitees sign the document electronically
• You will receive a confirmation e-mail advising that the signing process has been completed and that the document is ready for download
• You can now download the signed document and archive it locally
  

The Swisscom Sign Cockpit is an easy-to-use dashboard that gives administrators an up-to-date overview of ongoing costs and signature processes. You can add more members to your organisation, manage documents together and pay all costs with a centralised payment method.
