Life events and personal changes in Switzerland

Life changes. Afterwards, you may need to inform several companies, gather documents and review contracts. Connect PD brings these personal tasks together, from moving and changing your name to reporting a death. New contact details and bank details are part of this too.

What is changing in your life?

Moving and setting up a household

Notify companies of your address, check contact details and organise existing contracts. Municipal registration and mail forwarding are handled by the relevant services.

Marriage and a name change

After an official name change, update your records with banks, insurers, your employer and other service providers.

Separation and divorce

Review address, name, contact and bank details separately. Joint contracts and authorisations require specific clarification with the people involved.

A death in the family

Notify companies, gather required evidence and track replies. Official registration and settling the estate remain separate tasks.

Birth and supporting family members

Organise family documents and authorised representation. A family profile replaces neither birth registration nor a required power of attorney.

  • Changing address in Switzerland

    Moving involves several separate notifications. Registering an address with your municipality, forwarding your mail and notifying service providers are different tasks. This checklist helps you choose the appropriate channels.

  • Report a death

    Notify banks, insurers and subscription providers after a death: keep track of evidence, responsibilities and replies with Connect PD.

  • Name change

    After marriage, divorce or an official name change: a checklist for banks, insurers and service providers, including the evidence to prepare.

  • Email and phone number

    New email, mobile or landline number: check important accounts, inform selected companies and keep access to your services.

  • Bank details and IBAN

    New IBAN? Review salary payments, refunds and service providers. Connect PD helps notify selected recipients of your new bank details.

  • Cancel contracts and subscriptions

    Prepare a cancellation: check the contract, notice period, recipient and accepted channel. Organise documents and replies with Connect PD.

  • Data protection requests

    Prepare a request to a company: distinguish your objective, identification and response. Organise requests and documents with Connect PD.

  • Family and powers of attorney

    After a birth, marriage or when supporting relatives: keep track of documents, responsibilities and authorised representation.

  • Documents, contracts and deadlines

    Bring together documents for life events, link contracts and record important dates. Keep track of outstanding tasks with Connect PD.

You choose recipients and details. The features and delivery channels available in the portal determine what is possible. A directory entry does not confirm a partnership; sending a notification does not confirm completion by the recipient.

Life events from your company’s perspective

For businesses, life events become specific customer requests: address and name changes, death notifications, new contact or bank details, cancellations and data protection requests. Connect PD Business aims to support their structured processing. The requests, evidence and integrations included in your pilot are agreed in writing before launch.
