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. The POSTIDENT app is optimized for iPads and iPhones with iOS 17 or higher.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

POSTIDENT holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POSTIDENT has 4.7K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of POSTIDENT's written reviews are positive against 100% of PM.TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

POSTIDENT ships an update monthly, PM.TV every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
