Company relocations and business closures
Two additional cross-authority services are now available to companies: with the company relocation service, companies can report a change of address to all relevant authorities in one go. EasyGov’s business closure service assists companies with all the necessary process steps, from registering liquidation to deletion.

Accessibility
As an eGovernment offering of the Federal Administration, EasyGov is subject to numerous legal requirements for compliance with accessibility. In particular, EasyGov must fulfil the conformity requirements in accordance with WCAG 2.0 and achieve conformity level AA. The compliance requirements have only been partially met to date. A total of 22 measures were defined and implemented with release 1.11 to achieve conformity level AA.

Registration or permit requirement for foreign workers in Switzerland:
The processing of cross-border commuter permits for EU/EFTA nationals is provided on the portal with the pilot cantons of Thurgau and Zurich. Further pilot cantons are being planned.

New digital functions as part of the digitisation project of the Federal Supervisory Board for Foundations (FSBF):
With the current update, foundations have the option of processing eESA services via the EasyGov platform and using it for all their specific transactions with the FSBF and other authorities, such as the Commercial Register or the OASI Compensation Fund. In particular, annual reporting can be completed electronically without media discontinuity.
