You can update your name and address details in our “Report name correction” online service.

Alternatively, you can also register your name change in a Swiss Post branchTarget not accessible.

For security reasons, we are not allowed to take orders over the phone or by e-mail. We recommend that you order a mail redirection for deceased persons at one of our branches.

Please present the following documents at the counter:

• An inheritance certificate/heir’s certificate or a family record book / a family certificate / a certificate of registered partnership or a notarized authorization (if no heir’s certificate available)
• A death certificate

An order costs CHF 57.00 and lasts for 12 months.

Until you have all the documents ready or until it has been clarified who will take care of written matters in the future, we will be happy to set up a “Retain mail” order to ensure the mail is not returned to the sender. Please bring the death certificate with you to the counter so that we can set up the order. The costs vary depending on the duration of the order.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Contact Center. You can reach us quickly and conveniently via our live chat.
