[RTFX Kaspar]

To comply with the Swiss law against money laundry, Swiss financial institutes have to ask for certified copies of the identity papers of clients opening accounts via letter-mail.

Therefore you have to get your copy stamped by one of the following offices:
Municipal administration
Police office
Branch bank
Post office
…

Don’t forget:

Your papers have to be valid
The copy has to show the date and stamp and signature of the respective office.

WITHOUT THE CORRESPONDING CERTIFIED COPY OF VALID IDENTITY PAPERS NO ACCOUNT WILL BE OPENED!
