National address service
At present there is no national service that public authorities can use to validate, search for or compare the currently valid residential addresses of Swiss residents. The National Address Service (NAS) is intended to make the address data of the communal and cantonal residents' services available nationally. Only public authorities and authorised third parties will be able to use the service. Private individuals will not be able to access or make use of the service. The NAS will enable administrative processes to be simplified and allow public tasks to be carried out more efficiently.
