Question 8: Place of birth

The inhabitants of the cantons Bern and Jura take into account the situation as it has developed after their new forming.

Question 9: Place of residence (home town) [Heimat]
  • Women married to a Swiss enter the same place as their husbands.
  • Women married to a foreigner and their children who have Swiss citizenship, enter the Swiss place of residence.
  • Widowed or divorced women enter the home place of residence of their last marriage if they did not revert back to their former home place.
  • Communities in one canton with the same name should be described precisely, e.g. Oetwil on the Lake, Oetwil at the Limmat.


Foreigners with several citizenships should enter the country of the last obtained citizenship. Foreigners who have no papers and are also unable to obtain such, or who cannot get protection from the diplomatic office of their home country, enter persons without papers, without citizenship or being refugee.
