Personally on the mobile phone: "d-you" app for ID on the smartphone
From January 2, the identity card will also be available on the smartphone. The secret surrounding the associated app has been revealed.
Germany's Federal Minister for Digital Affairs, Karsten Wildberger, has introduced an app called "d-you" that will allow citizens to use their smartphones as identification documents from next year. The app, which features a green-blue design with a black-red-gold stripe, is part of the EU's EUDI-Wallet project, which requires member states to provide a digital identity application.
The app is set to launch on January 2, 2027, and will initially be compatible with around 40 providers, including banks, post offices, and government agencies. The digital wallet will enable users to prove their identity online and store documents such as their ID and driver's license.
