Code "rejNoRelat" / "rejNoNexus"
An application is rejected if it has not been possible to confirm the objective relationship between the applicant and the requested domain name.
For a .swiss domain name to be assigned, there must be an objective relationship between the applicant and the requested name. In particular, this is the case when the domain name corresponds to the name of the organisation submitting the application or to an applicant’s trademark.
Natural persons are only allowed to register a .swiss domain name if it contains at least one of the following designations: their own official name or another name registered in the civil register, forename, married name, registered partnership name, the name received in a religious order, the artist's name under which they have become known or a name attached to a distinctive sign (e.g. a registered trade mark) to which they have the rights. A freely chosen designation may be added to any of these compulsory designations.
An organization (public body, body registered with the Swiss commercial register, association or foundation) can submit a new application via a registrar or reseller, noting the following aspects:
If the relationship is not obvious, any new application by you must include precise details. Your registrar can mention this information in the field "Intended use" of the application. You can also send this information directly to the registry by email (domainnames@bakom.admin.ch), before submitting a new application via your registrar or reseller. In this way, your information can be supplemented with supporting documentation.
Taking into account the objective relationship requirement, the application cannot be submitted by an intermediary (trustee, web or marketing agency, for example) but only by the organisation which can demonstrate an objective relationship with the name.
If a company applies for a domain name corresponding to one of its directors, managers or employees, the relationship is not sufficiently objective and the application must be rejected
A domain name corresponding to a third party's trademark or product name will not be assigned without their explicit consent.
The Business Identification Number (BID) shown in the application must correspond to the applicant for the domain name. You can check your Business Identification Number (BID) in the BID register https://www.uid.admin.ch/search.aspx?lang=en.
