Migration from the Swiss Post Customer Login to the SwissID login
If you currently use the Swiss Post Customer Login to access your existing Swiss Post user account, you will be asked to migrate to the SwissID login from June 2022. The migration affects around 2.7 million existing Swiss Post user accounts. For this reason, it will be carried out in phases over an extended period of time.
If you would like to open a new Swiss Post user account, you can register at any time.
Yes. In principle, you can link your Swiss Post user account to SwissID at any time without having been asked to do so. The first step is to log in as usual. You can then create a SwissID by clicking on the link/button “Link SwissID” in the customer area or in your user profile. This will link your SwissID to your Swiss Post user account.
Swiss Post will write to the relevant customers via e-mail to inform them that their Swiss Post user accounts will be migrated to SwissID. The communication will be sent in phases from June 2022.
Here’s how it works:
- Once you have received the e-mail, log in to your Swiss Post user account as usual via the “Swiss Post Customer Login”.
- You will then be given instructions on how to migrate your account.
- Simply follow the instructions and create a SwissID account with your personal e-mail address.
Registration
Click on “Login” in the top right and then on “Register” just above the “Log in” button.
As part of the registration process, we will send you an activation code to the e-mail address specified by you. You must then activate the new user account within one hour.
In future, Swiss Post will exclusively use the SwissID login for access to Swiss Post online services. The second login option, “Swiss Post Customer Login”, will be removed as soon as all customers have migrated to SwissID.
You must confirm your address in order to be able to use all online services at Swiss Post without disruption – including “My consignments”, “Retain mail” and “Change of address”. For precise instructions, please see the help section below.
The following help section will also show you how to register your new address, how to confirm it in order to be able to use all Swiss Post online services and how to request a new confirmation code.

As a certified trust service provider, SwissSign protects this data to the highest security standards and stores it on servers in Switzerland. The company uses the data for the purposes of the SwissID service and not for other commercial purposes.

The increasing number of attempts at fraud on the Internet deliberately target any carelessness on the part of users in order to gain access to coveted data. Here you will find information on what you and Swiss Post can do about them, and where you can report suspicious cases.
Business customers
You can register two addresses in your customer account. One address is used for invoicing (Swiss Post customer invoice; this address cannot be changed in your user profile, only by phone or via your customer advisor) while the second address is used for online services such as forwarding orders, P.O. Boxes, sub-addresses, powers of attorney.
If several users work for your company in the new business customer account, you can work with the company administrator to define which address should be used in addition for the online services (e.g. for forwarding orders) and then register this address in your company profile under “Manage your company details” → “Address”.
If you require more than one address for the online services (e.g. powers of attorney, forwarding orders, P.O. Boxes, sub-addresses), please contact Customer Service. We can register several addresses in certain services.
