Three steps to your EPR
With a SwissID, you can create your verified electronic identity (if not already available).
You apply for your EPR from Post Sanela Health Ltd.
You will receive a one-time, initial login for your EPR – done!
With our service, you can set up the EPR completely digitally anywhere in Switzerland. Setting up an EPR is free of charge in the cantons of Basel-Land, Basel-Stadt, Bern, Lucerne, Nidwalden, Obwalden Schaffhausen, Schwyz, Solothurn, St. Gallen, Zug and Zurich.

Recommendations
Start setting up the EPR on your computer or tablet and use your smartphone for actions in the SwissID app. You can also follow all the steps on your smartphone.
Use your passport to verify your electronic identity. If you identify yourself with the ID card, it will be checked manually. You will be notified by email as soon as you can continue with the online set-up.
