Please note: 

  • If the Embassy was not informed about your change of civil status, a new passport can only be issued after your personal file has been updated in Switzerland.
  • For travel to other Asian countries (for example Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia) a passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
  • The biometric passport 10 currently enables Swiss citizens to travel to the USA under the visa waiver program. Nevertheless, you still have to register 72 hours before departure under https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/  ESTA
  • If you have lost you passport and/or ID-card, please make first a police report at the nearest police station before re-applying.
