This connection may exist through a registered place of business and a physical administrative base in Switzerland. An entry in the commercial register or the status of an association or a foundation is also required. '''''Natural persons can apply for a .SWISS domain name starting 24. April 2024.

{{Warnbox|Please note that the .SWISS registry will publish the registration requests of all domains on its website every Tuesday for 20 days.

{{Warnbox|Please note the following change starting 24. April 2024}}
From 24. April 2024, natural persons will be able to apply for a .SWISS domain: 
The following changes will apply with this date:  
<ul>
<li>New extension: '''X-SWISS-OWNER-TYPE = P | O (person | organisation)'''</li>
<ul>
<li>If '''X-SWISS-OWNER-TYPE''' is set to '''P''', please use the extension as follows: '''X-SWISS-UID = <756.dddd.dddd.dd>''' (dedicated format for Universal Person Identification; d = digit)</li>
<li>If '''X-SWISS-OWNER-TYPE''' is set to '''O''', the use of the extension is the same as before: '''X-SWISS-UID = <CHE-ddd.ddd.ddd>''' (dedicated format for Business Identification Number or Enterprise ID, d = digit) </li>
</ul>
<li>'''X-SWISS-UID''' will replace '''X-SWISS-REGISTRANT-ENTERPRISE-ID :''' which will be deprecated on 24. April 2024.</li>
</ul>
<br>
'''X-CORE-INTENDED-USE :''' Field describing the intended use for the domain name.<br>
<br>
To enable the registry to verify a registrant's eligibility for the use of a specific domain, registrars must supply an "enterprise ID" information string for the registrant contact of a .swiss domain, denoting the registered company ID of the company represented by the contact. Natural persons may only register a .swiss domain name if it contains at least one of the following designations:
<ul>
<li>one of the official names or other names registered in the civil register</li>
<li>one of the forenames</li>
<li>a married name</li>
<li>a registered partnership name</li>
<li>a name received in a religious order</li>
<li>an artist's name under which the person has become known or</li>
<li>a name attached to a distinctive sign (e.g. a registered trade mark) to which the applicant has the rights</li>
</ul>
A freely chosen designation may be added to any of these compulsory designations.
