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.

The app is extremely slow (blank screens, eternal loading) and constantly gives "network connection errors" even though I am stably connected to the internet. When I finally managed to get to the point where I could take a picture of my ID card, it didn't recognize it, forcing me to go back to start. I didn't manage to identify myself because I wasted an hour on this app and never got to the point where they do the video identification because of this reason. Worthless app.

Hello Ludger Goeminne, thanks for your feedback. The security requirements for identification are very high, which is why the POSTIDENT employees have to check details in the ID documents and the quality of the recordings must be good. We are working on solutions to enhance the app. Your POSTIDENT Team

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!!

I have 3 of these apps installed because everyone needs to run their own half baked app for identification so that there's a larger attack vector. This one is probably the worst. I have so far never managed to use the e-id. how hard can it be to read an NFC card and pass on the data? Please stop making the app so one of the slightly better ones can be used by companies instead
