How Can You Change Your Personal UZH Email Address?

Your @uzh.ch address is automatically generated based on the personal details from your employment contract. If there are people with the same name, the address is numbered sequentially (e.g. peter.mueller3@uzh.ch).

1. Report a name change (e.g. due to marriage) to your HR manager in your unit (institute/clinic/seminar/department).
2. Submit an official identification document (passport or ID) as proof.
3. After the change has been recorded, you will receive an email with further steps for confirmation.

The @uzh.ch address will then be updated automatically. If you wish to change your address, this is always done via a name change.
