Available in plans: Swiss Registry And Signatory · Swiss Registry And Signatory And Comm Register Excerpt · Partner

Retrieves a list of authorized signatories for a given company UID.

Proposed Usage

• The authorized signatories can legally sign contracts in the name of the company.
• Each signatory has a signing competence. Depending on the competence, other signatories need to sign a contract to be legally binding.
• The endpoint can be used to simplify the clients choice of a set of signatories that can legally sign a contract for the respective company.
• The data relies on the respective cantonal commercial register records.
• We disclaim any legal liability for any damages or consequences that may result from the use of the data provided.

Empty signatory lists

• An empty signatories array is a valid and meaningful result, not an error. It means the commercial register publishes no signatory section for this entity.
• Branches (Zweigniederlassung / succursale) are the most common case: signing authority belongs to the head office, which has its own UID and its own excerpt.
• An empty array is only ever returned once the commercial-register excerpt has been positively confirmed to have rendered. If the excerpt could not be retrieved, the request fails with 500 — it never degrades to an empty list.
• Whether an entity is active, "being deleted", or already struck off the register has no bearing on this: deleted entities keep their signatories.

Usage Limits

• This endpoint is rate limited, please refer to the response headers for further details on limits and reset times.
