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, Schaffhausen, Schwyz, Solothurn, St. Gallen, Zug and Zurich.
How setting up an EPR digitally works
Requirements and recommendations for setting up an EPR digitally
Requirements
You are at least 18 years old*
You do not yet have an EPR
You have a smartphone (at least iPhone 7 with iOS 13 and TouchID/FaceID or an Android device with at least OS 8 (Oreo) and NFC capability and fingerprint)
Access to your personal email account
Your biometric passport or identity card (Switzerland or EU/EEA; exception: German ID card)
Your login credentials for your SwissID account and the SwissID app installed on your smartphone (or open a SwissID account)

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.
* If you are under the age of 18 or have a custodian, the EPR must be set up by the legal representative.
