The Confirmation of Residency Letter (Wohnsitzbestätigung/Attestation de domicile) is a fundamental document in the Swiss administrative system, required for numerous official procedures and transactions. This document is typically requested when individuals need to prove their residence status for purposes such as opening bank accounts, enrolling in schools, applying for permits, or dealing with tax authorities. The letter is issued by local Swiss municipal authorities and must comply with federal legislation including the Federal Act on Foreign Nationals and Integration, cantonal registration laws, and data protection regulations. It contains verified information about an individual's current residence status, including address details and duration of stay. The document's validity and format are standardized across Swiss municipalities, though specific requirements may vary by canton.
