About this app

With the POSTIDENT app, you can verify your identity conveniently and simply by means of your smartphone.

Depending on which of our partner companies you carry out this identification process, you can verify your identity either via POSTIDENT by videochat, POSTIDENT by eID (with your national identity card or the electronic residence title), or fully automatically by creating images of your ID document and profile. With the eID function or the automated verification of your ID document you can verify your identity quickly and securely at any time. Your data will be checked by call center employees of Deutsche Post AG in all further identification procedures. Our employees are available to you from Mondays to Sundays in the hours from 8 AM to 10 PM. In addition, you can retrieve the POSTIDENT coupon for identification in your post office directly via the POSTIDENT app and therefore do not need to print it out anymore.

The identification procedures are compliant with the law, secure and completed in just a few steps. Simply enter the transaction number that you have received from either our partner company or us. The POSTIDENT app will then execute the procedure. At POSTIDENT by videochat, a Deutsche Post employee will explain additionally in detail how the procedure works.

Not helpful at all. I've tried a dozen times to get it to recognize US passport (issued in 2021) holograms using different lighting, but it just doesn't work. It didn't work last year, and didn't work this year. Each time you retry, you have to start over from the beginning and do all of the steps again, even if previously the rest of your application was accepted. Back to paper and postal service. I'm uninstalling this useless app. A waste of storage space! So frustrating.

Had some problems. Needed to use the Chrome browser to activate the app. I used my driver's license front and back. Make sure the image stays within the outline provided, otherwise it rejects. Update: driver's license didn't work, so I tried again with the passport. So what is the back of the passport? Nothing. So I used the signature page as the "back image" and after more tries it was accepted and completed. Well, at least it finally worked, but have to say it needs to be more user friendly.

I have been trying to complete my identity verification on this app for the past three days to activate my SIM card. I have already submitted all the required documents multiple times, yet there is still no update on whether my application has been accepted or rejected. The video verification option is never available, and I haven't received a single email regarding the status. The app also provides no meaningful update. Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience!!
