2. Registration verification and successful identification

Trust is good, control is better. In line with this motto, Swisscom offers you the opportunity to check whether you have been correctly registered and can sign electronically accordingly after identification.

To do this, please open this link and follow the instructions. Figure 2 shows an example of a successful registration.

3. Set up Swisscom signature type in MOXIS

If the registration check is successful, you can sign in MOXIS. To facilitate internal processes, you can set up the Swisscom signature type in MOXIS. To do this, follow these instructions. This has the advantage that you do not have to enter your signature data each time you sign

Please note: If the Swisscom signature type has not yet been set up, you will be asked to enter the corresponding phone number the first time you sign a document in accordance with the Certification Services Act. If signing with a specific phone number does not work, a warning message will appear during setup (see figure 3). In this case, please contact our support team at servicedesk@xitrust.com

XiTip
A phone number is only ever assigned to one user. If the same number is stored for several users in MOXIS, you will receive an error message when configuring in MOXIS. In this case, please make sure that only one user exists with this particular phone number.
