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.

Useless and total waste of time... once the agent picks up, there is loading of their video and then the call gets terminated. Got also an error "the app keeps on stopping"... not to mention that I lost nearly an hour trying to make this work. In the window it says the waiting time is about 2 minutes but this is far from being true. So, now I have to go to the good old post like my grandma used to do!!!

Terrible experience, failing to work both with a European passport and EU id. Tried about a dozen times, both from the app and the browser, and each time fails with a different complaint/error. Cannot find any option for live (web)chat support, only automated failure responses. I really needed this for express activation of the Nachsendeservice and paid the extra 10€ and appeared to have wasted the money. I will also be missing an urgent letter because of this. Very disappointed.

Hallo Vassilis Kazazakis! Es tut uns leid, dass Sie mit unserem Service Unannehmlichkeiten hatten. Wir bemühen uns, schnellstmöglich wieder einen reibungslosen Service sicherzustellen. Alternativ können Sie auch Postident durch Filiale nutzen. Ihr POSTIDENT Team

Terrible. The camera seems to be locked to focus at a pretty big distance, the ID is unrecognizable from that distance and if I bring it closer it's so out of focus that you can't read it either. No apparent way to change the focus. Only way I got it to work is to switch to the front camera and show my ID to that. Let's hope this time DHL accepts the photos... Update: Downgrade to 1/5 because even the clear photos with the front camera were not accepted. We should be able to just send an email!
