SWITCH, the registry for .CH (Switzerland) .LI (Liechtenstein), has implemented a deferred delegation system for new registrations in order to better protect Internet users from malware and phishing.
If the registry suspects a registration is fraudulent, the domain name will be assigned, but SWITCH will prevent it from being added to the zone file and will contact the registrant directly by email, requesting that they prove their identity (for example, with a passport) within 30 days.
SWITCH will revoke the assigned domain name if they do not comply. There will be no refunds for domain names that have been revoked.
