Swisscom: digital innovations from Switzerland
Swisscom Trust Services is a subsidiary of Swisscom AG, the largest telecommunications company in Switzerland. With Swisscom Trust Services, the company has established itself as a leading provider of trust services in Europe .
A trust service provider is an organization that is officially authorized to issue, for example, digital certificates and digital timestamps. Both the EU and Switzerland maintain lists of recognized trust service providers, which naturally includes Swisscom.
Swisscom is the only European provider that meets both the legal requirements for e-signatures of the EU (the eIDAS Regulation) and the legal requirements of Switzerland (the ZertES).
This means for you: Whether you want to sign under EU law or Swiss law – thanks to our partnership with Swisscom, you have both options at Skribble.
Due to its excellent reputation and high security measures, Swisscom has been our valued partner for trust services for years. Companies in an environment with high regulatory requirements can be assured that identification and data storage at Swisscom meet all legal requirements.
Two partners, one platform, no media disruptions
Signing electronically should be as easy as possible – that is our mission at Skribble. Therefore you can sign with us in a "flow", without leaving our platform. While you are using the identification and certification services of Swisscom in the background, you do not need to enter into an additional contract with Swisscom to create digital signatures. Identification and signing itself are seamlessly handled through Skribble – completely without any media disruption.

Experience a seamless workflow when signing. We bring together everything you need: no additional contract required.
Flexible and accessible from anywhere
Identification for all e-signature standards can be completed entirely online, e.g., via mobile app or video call.
Identification for the QES via Swisscom
The qualified electronic signature (QES) is the highest of the three e-signature standards. It is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature and is even valid for those documents that must comply with written form requirements.
To sign with QES, you need to identify yourself once with an identification document (passport or ID card). This identification for the qualified electronic signature is quickly completed thanks to Swisscom.
You have the following options:
- Video Identification: A live video call will take place with an employee from Swisscom.
- Self-Identification: You identify yourself independently by taking a photo of your ID and recording a video of yourself.
- Personal Identification in a Swisscom store: You appear in person at a Swisscom store in Switzerland.
- Personal identification through an in-house procedure: Trained employees of your company take on the identification of colleagues.

Create now: Electronic Signature with Swisscom Certificate
Whether you operate in Switzerland or the EU: A valid qualified electronic signature with a Swisscom certificate is possible in both cases. The established trust service provider offers identification and certification for both legal areas, depending on the use case, and is therefore the perfect partner for Skribble.
All clear?
A Swiss QES is not automatically legally valid in the EU, as there is no agreement between Switzerland and the EU to recognize each other's e-signatures. However, in the event of a dispute, it is likely that a court would rule in favor of the validity of the QES, as the requirements for a Swiss QES (according to ZertES) and a QES of the EU (according to eIDAS) are nearly identical.
