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.

A vast improvement since I used this app back in 2018 when it really didn't work at all. Still, I waited an hour to do the video chat, then the connection was fragile. To be fair the guy was very friendly, but I would have been quicker driving the 10km to the next post office and showing them my ID the analog way.

Waited 45min for a verification (estimated time 15min) only for it to cancel because it was now outside of service hours. Next day I waited 30min only for the person to have a black screen, claim via chat they can't see or hear me and hang up instantly. Absolutely useless and the biggest waste of time ever. I've done plenty of other verification processes that worked immediately without the need for an app. This one is just an insult and designed entirely to frustrate you.

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!!!
