No, we are not a debt collection office.

We are a service platform that standardises the ordering of the debt collection register extract for all debt collection offices in Switzerland. You can order directly for all places of residence (for the last 5 years) quickly and easily via our site.

Each political community of residence has its own debt collection office or debt collection district. (There are over 400 debt collection offices and districts throughout Switzerland).


Does my debt collection register extract list all my debts in Switzerland?

The extract from the debt collection register does not provide information on debt collection throughout Switzerland, but only from the requested place of residence.

Example: This means that if you have to provide an extract from the last 5 years and have lived in 3 different municipalities in the last 5 years, you would have to order a total of 3 extracts from the debt collection register. (One for each place of residence)

An extract from the debt collection register is often requested for the following matters:

  • Job search

  • Credit card applications
  • Mortgage application
  • Larger orders on account

Legally, however, there is no obligation on the part of the person or company vis-à-vis or to a landlord to submit a extract from the debt collection register, because with the proof of interest in a flat, the landlord himself can request an extract from the debt collection register of the last place of residence.

It is nevertheless recommended to enclose an extract of debt collection register with an application.
