Switzerland's biggest cantonal register

Zurich is the country's financial and tech capital, and its cantonal register office is correspondingly the largest in Switzerland. The extract shows the company's statutory purpose, capital, seat and all registered persons — board members, managing officers, holders of Prokura — each with their exact signing power.

For counterparties abroad, that signature detail is the single most valuable field: it tells you whether the person across the table can commit the company alone.

Cross-border checks made simple

German, EU and overseas firms order Zurich extracts before banking, insurance, licensing and technology agreements. Search by name, confirm the CHE/UID number, and receive the extract with our English-readable report by email — typically in minutes, one-time payment, no account.

Companies seated in other cantons are found through the same search; each is delivered from its own cantonal register.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Swiss extract differ from a German one?

It is kept by a cantonal register office rather than a court, identifies the company by a UID in the format CHE-123.456.789, and lists every registered person with their signature type — sole signature or joint signature by two, a distinction that determines who can bind the company.

Does it cover companies elsewhere in the canton, like Winterthur?

Yes. The cantonal office registers the whole Canton of Zurich, and Switzerland's central company index makes any registered firm findable nationwide — you search by name, we resolve the exact entry.

Why is the signature type so important?

Under Swiss practice many companies require two signatories acting jointly ("Kollektivunterschrift zu zweien"). A contract signed by one person alone may not bind such a company — the extract is how you check before signing.

Is this an official document?

You receive the register content as issued by the cantonal register, plus our branded report. We are an independent service, not affiliated with the register office.
