New ID card trick: How to avoid annoying fines!
Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser today commented on the progressive digitalization of administrative processes in order to make it easier for citizens to complete administrative procedures. The aim is to reduce the number of personal visits to offices and thus create more efficient administration. A key element of this strategy is the introduction of email reminders for the expiration of documents such as passports. This is intended to avoid fines, which can be between 10 and 80 euros, if new applications are not submitted on time. Chip reports that Using a regularly checked email address is recommended. We also warn against using temporary or rarely used email addresses.
The digitization of administrative procedures is a further step towards simplifying access to public services. The BSI further states that The identity card with online identification function is a central instrument of digital administration. The Online Access Act (OZG) stipulates that official information and contact options must be made available online, which is intended to significantly improve user-friendliness.
Online ID function and its advantages
Electronic identification documents, which include the ID card, the electronic passport and the electronic residence permit, are equipped with an integrated chip for storing personal data. These documents make it possible to use the online ID function via the eID of the identity card. This is particularly advantageous because the availability of online services can vary depending on the federal state.
The simple online registration of a vehicle is already possible nationwide and only requires an internet-enabled device, such as a PC or an NFC-enabled smartphone, and the installation of the ID card app. It is important that the activation of the online identification function of the ID card must first be applied for at the residents' registration office.
Overall, the progressive digitization measures ensure that citizens not only have easier access to bureaucratic services, but can also avoid fines by submitting applications in a timely manner. The new email reminder features take another step in the right direction to reduce administrative burdens and increase efficiency.
