In order for your work permit to be checked by Coople, various document verification steps are required (depending on your nationality).
Therefore, please first select your nationality on your profile. You can do this via the Coople Jobs app under Account > Right to Work.
Please note that all documents must be valid and original.
For Swiss nationals:
Required documents: Front and back of your Swiss identity card or passport.
Photography tips: Make sure that the document photos are clear, without cropped edges, blurring or visible light reflections. This ensures that your documents will be accepted by Coople.
Identity verification: While your ID and face are being scanned, a continuous video recording will run in the background to help verify your identity.
Important: While your documents are being checked, you can already apply for Coople jobs, which will speed up the verification process.
For non-Swiss nationals:
Required documents:
1. Front and back of your identity card or passport.
2. Front and back of your residence permit (you will find the details of the purpose of your stay on your permit).

My residence permit has expired, what can I do?
If your work or residence permit has expired, you must upload an official, written confirmation from the migration office in addition to your expired permit and a valid identity document. In order for Coople to accept such a letter from the migration office as a temporary solution, the following must be mentioned in the letter:
That the current permit and the purpose of stay stated in it are still valid.
The date the letter was issued.
A stamp or signature of the migration office must be clearly visible.
If all details are correct, Coople can confirm your work permit for a further 60 days.
