Overview of Federal Administration service portals

The Federal Administration offers many of its services via portals. The overview of the Federal Administration's service portals compares the services available on the largest portals. It is helpful in particular to those authorities that would like to offer their services on one of these portals for the first time.

In its audit report 20386 on potential synergies in federal IT portals, the Swiss Federal Audit Office SFAO recommends that the Federal Chancellery provide a complete overview of all portals and comparable descriptions of the services offered in order to support the state service providers in the digitalisation process. The overview and descriptions are periodically updated.

Which portals are described?

The overview covers portals that offer transactions (mainly notifications or applications) with public authorities. It intentionally excludes traditional websites and websites that offer access to a single specialist application.

The overview aims to support portal providers in coordinating their offering and achieving synergies. It helps federal agencies evaluate the ‘right’ portal for their digital public services.

Portal descriptions

The overview in table form lists the portals, with a short description given of each. The overview simply gives information about the portals; no evaluation of them is made.
