How geographically precise is the public vehicle data?
Last verified: 2026-06-20
The geographic resolution of the publicly available vehicle data ranges from national through cantonal to municipal level. The BFS and ASTRA publish stock and registration figures by canton and, via pre-computed analyses, also by municipality.
| Level | Publicly available? |
|---|---|
| Country (Switzerland / Liechtenstein, import origin) | Yes |
| Canton | Yes |
| Municipality | Yes, via pre-computed BFS/ASTRA analyses by municipality |
| Full postal code (individual vehicle) | No — paid only |
| Keeper address | No — paid only |
Municipal analyses are published as aggregated reports (e.g. vehicle stock and drive type by municipality) — not as personal individual data.
