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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: POSTIDENT at 43% against DHL EVENTS's 14%. POSTIDENT also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). DHL EVENTS's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DHL EVENTS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POSTIDENT has 4.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of POSTIDENT's written reviews are positive against 14% of DHL EVENTS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
POSTIDENT ships an update monthly, DHL EVENTS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
