Membership
Please read the information brochure carefully before applying.
In principle, all adults can become ordinary members of DIGNITAS even if they are not resident in Switzerland and have foreign citizenship. However, we must make it quite clear that DIGNITAS can only provide its members with support within Swiss national territory.
Members who want to secure the services of DIGNITAS have the right to legally effective Patient’s Instructions, to being accompanied at the end of their lives and also to assistance to an accompanied suicide. In addition they are entitled to counselling, so far as the association can provide it, in everything concerning their human dignity in life and in death. DIGNITAS attaches great importance to providing its members with contacts for whom humanity is of great value. The DIGNITAS motto “To live with dignity – To die with dignity” is a promise.
In order to join DIGNITAS, one only needs to fill in the declaration of membership. First, please read the information brochure carefully. The declaration of membership is binding and you are obliged to pay the one-off joining fee of Swiss Francs 220 and the subscription of Swiss Francs 80. We are sending you a confirmation of your membership registration.

One-off joining fee Swiss Francs (CHF) 220 (approx GBP £ 195 / USD $ 234 / Euro € 222); annual membership subscription at each individual member’s discretion, yet, at least CHF 80 (approx GBP £ 71 / USD $ 85 / Euro € 81).
