Accessibility in the Federal Administration

Information and services that are available digitally can make it easier for people with disabilities to communicate with public sector bodies. This enables social involvement and political participation for all.

Accessibility Statement

The swiyu Wallet, swiyu Check and eid.admin.ch are partially compliant with WCAG 2.1, conformance level AA. Partial compliance means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the accessibility standard, as the software is still under development.

Date of creation and last update

This accessibility statement was created in March 11, 2026.

Efforts to achieve accessibility
