SWITCH edu-ID

SWITCH edu-ID is a digital identity for lifelong access to services in the university environment.

ETH staff and students need a SWITCH edu-ID to access certain facility services.

From 7 December 2020, it will no longer be possible to borrow or make reservations at the ETH library without a SWITCH edu-ID.

Registration

Access to registration is via IAM.

ETH students and staff will be able to log in to the IAM to register for the SWITCH edu-ID.

Log in to IAM: www.passwort.ethz.ch
Here you will find the new edu-ID column.
If you do not already have a SWITCH edu-ID account or have not yet linked your account to IAM, you will see the edu-ID field without numbers but with a request to log in.
Click in the field in the edu-ID column to register with SWITCH.
You will be forwarded to the SWITCH edu-ID web application
external pagehttps://eduid.ch/
Click on "Create account" if you have not already created a SWITCH edu-ID.
To register, you must click on "Accept".

If you have any questions or require support, please contact SWITCH.

SWITCH edu-ID is not a service provided by IT Services or ETH Zurich. IT Services merely ensures access to the SWITCH registration by IAM.
