Swiss citizenship has three levels. You acquire communal, cantonal and federal citizenship together, so your commune and canton each assess your application alongside the federal authorities.
Switzerland's federal structure means becoming Swiss is not a single national decision. Citizenship is acquired simultaneously at communal, cantonal and federal level, and each tier plays a role in the procedure.
The canton checks the formal requirements, your integration and your familiarity with Swiss life, and the commune is also involved. The State Secretariat for Migration grants the federal naturalisation permit. Cantons and communes may add their own residence and integration conditions on top of the federal minimums.
