BundID

With the BundID (formerly: Germany user account), you can apply for the desired Administrative service easily and securely. Your application will be sent directly to the responsible Government agency.

To be able to use the BundID, you must first set up an account.

This works as follows

• with the online ID function (via ID card, electronic residence permit or eID card for EU citizens) or
• with an eIDAS-compliant eID medium from your EU home country (for Italy, for example, Carta di Identità elettronica) or
• with an ELSTER certificate
• with a user name and password

Further information can be found on the BundID website.

Information for users of the Hesse user account (often called "service account"):

• The Hesse user account has expired and has been replaced by the BundID (formerly: Germany user account) in Hesse online applications.
• The Hesse user account ("service account") is no longer available.
• You should therefore register a BundID account as soon as possible, preferably with an online ID. Registration with an online ID fulfils the highest Trust level required for many online applications.
• Your Hesse user account was not automatically converted into a BundID account, but was deleted without replacement on 30 June 2023.
• The BundID is also being continuously developed with the participation of Hesse.
