It's another one of those strange Swiss procedural requirements.

Much the same as having to clean your car engine and chassis prior to any inspection, it's a requirement that your hair has to be brushed to a recognized standard before attending civil offices or official functions. They're fairly relaxed about it in Geneva, but much more strict in other Cantons (especially Vaud).

Hope this helps.

So with no (head) hair I'm ok then ..? No brushing required..?  Or i must attend the coiffure for a pubic brushing before presenting to the office des automobiles?

You'll need to use the Wig Bank.  But watch out for dyslexics.

John, Andy, please keep adding to this thread - I can't remember laughing so hard in a long time   (especially because both of you sincerely and honestly had no idea what it means until Tea B has enlightened you)

Again - as Andy C says - beware dyxliecia - and make sure you don't confuse public with pubic - the Swiss aren't know for their sense of humour - even though they put "wit" in S"wit"zerland :-)

I assume the person who named Switzerland was obviously dyslexicik.....I know I am! V Funny Post

Carolyn, I believe Andy mostly referred to the Big Wank, oh, sorry, Wig Bank!!!
