INTRODUCTION eID-Me is a secure digital identity app. eID-Me digitizes and securely stores government-issued identity and self-managed identity information on your iPhone. eID-Me makes online identity verification quicker, easier, and more secure by eliminating passwords and strengthening privacy. eID-Me cannot currently be used as a substitute for legal identification. Our goal is to improve access to services that require verified identity, including government, financial, health care, and more. If you want to help speed up eID-Me integrations, spread the word.

HOW IT WORKS During registration, use your iPhone to prove your identity by taking a selfie with liveness check, and scanning your government-issued photo identity documents (e.g., driver’s licence, passport). Your iPhone is then issued a unique eID-Me digital identity, which includes a digital certificate with identity claims (verified pieces of information about you). You can then use your eID-Me digital identity to easily access services and securely share identity information in identity transactions both online and offline (in person). PRIVACY AND SECURITY Your identity information is always in your possession on your iPhone. It is never hosted by a centralized service or third-party provider or stored in the cloud. Once your identity information is verified, a secure certificate is installed on your iPhone. That information is not accessible to anyone but you, until you choose to share it in a transaction. eID-Me’s digital wallet is protected on the iPhone with strong encryption, leveraging its hardware security mechanisms, and is bound to your authentication method (e.g., Face ID, Touch ID, PIN). BENEFITS AND FEATURES • Secure digital ID on your iPhone. • Secure digital wallet on your iPhone containing your identity with verified ID information. • No cloud storage of your identity information. • Strong encryption and certificate-based authentication. • eID-Me identity is bound to your iPhone’s authentication method (e.g., Face ID, Touch ID, PIN). • Strong privacy protection with complete control over your identity and information.

For a successful identification you need: - one of the following identity documents: German identity card, residence permit or eID card for EU citizens. - the corresponding ID PIN - an NFC-enabled smartphone This is how identification with our app works step by step: 1. Start the process by entering the 10-digit ident code you can find on your service provider's website into the AUTHADA app. If you do not see an ident code and you are using a PC, go to the website of the service provider you want to identify with a PC and scan the QR code with the AUTHADA app. If you are only using a smartphone (without an additional desktop device), click on the "Start AUTHADA" button on the service provider's website. 2. Now follow the instructions in the app. This includes entering your PIN and reading out your ID card. 3. Then enter the TAN generated in the app on the service provider's website. The ID card PIN You can find your ID card PIN and PUK in your PIN letter, which you received via mail after applying for your ID card. Please note: Before using the online ID card function for the first time, you must change your ID card PIN. To do so, you will need the five-digit transport PIN from your PIN letter. With the AUTHADA app and the "Change PIN" function, you can assign a new, personal, six-digit PIN. In future, you will always need this PIN if you want to use the online ID card function. If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times, your ID card PIN is blocked. With the AUTHADA app, you can unlock your ID card PIN using the "Unlock PIN" function and your PUK. If you have forgotten your PIN or no longer have your PIN letter, you can also have your PIN reset without your PUK at your local Citizens' Registration Office. AUTHADA protects your privacy AUTHADA's eID solution is certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and ensures compliance with the highest security requirements. The smartphone is only used to read out the data for the respective business purpose. Before the read out process, the data to be read out is displayed. Your data is not stored in the app or at AUTHADA - your data is always encrypted and secure. Accessibility We paid attention to accessibility when implementing the app in order to make it accessible to as many people as possible.
