We have set up a Virtual Post Office (VPS) for electronic communication through which all documents can be submitted to DEHSt. The use of a qualified electronic signature is envisaged for the procedure of electronic communication using written form requirements.

An electronic signature card and an associated card reader are required for the electronic signature. Please note that the procurement and activation of the components can take up to three months.

Here you will find information on setting up a VPS mailbox and acquiring a qualified electronic signature.

We recommend all new applicants in particular to apply for a qualified signature card as soon as possible.
