Criminal records

Due to the coronavirus crisis, the capacity of the Swiss Register of Criminal Records is unfortunately severely limited. Even the post office cannot always guarantee the order at the post office counter. Please only order an excerpt if absolutely necessary.

Thank you for your understanding.
