The municipality of Visp is taking another step toward the future in modernizing its services and is one of the first four municipalities in Valais to offer a service through the government portal online.vs.ch.
In the future, to apply for a certificate of residence, you will no longer need to visit the municipality’s virtual service desk but will instead use the online.vs.ch portal. This is an important change, as you must verify your identity electronically when submitting an application via online.vs.ch. Thanks to this step, we know immediately who you are, and you no longer have to go through the tedious process of entering your personal information. As much of this information as possible is automatically populated based on what we already have on file. This allows you to benefit from a simpler and faster process that is just as recognized, traceable, and secure as the in-person service, but can be used without any time or location restrictions.
