Apply for an identity card as a person under 16
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you have German citizenship, you can apply for an identity card. This also applies to children from birth. If you are under 16, you must be accompanied by your parents. Your parents or legal guardians will take care of the application for you.
Your ID card is valid for a maximum of 6 years and must then be reapplied for. A temporary ID card is valid for a maximum of 3 months.
The ID card will become invalid before the expiry date if
- entries are no longer correct or
- you are no longer clearly recognizable in your photo. This may be the case in particular with ID cards for infants or very young children.
Changing your address does not invalidate your ID card.
From 02.08.2021, the EU logo was introduced on the front of the ID card for newly issued ID cards. However, ID cards without this logo will not become invalid.
You can generally use your ID card as electronic proof of identity. This function is automatically deactivated for children and young people up to the age of 16. If you are at least 16 years old, you can subsequently have the function activated free of charge at the Citizens' Registration Office at your main place of residence or online via the PIN reset and activation service.
You can submit the application to your ID card authority at your main place of residence, which is usually the Citizens' Registration Office. Applications can be submitted to any other ID card authority if you have an important reason. You will then pay a surcharge.
Your parents or legal guardians must apply for the ID card personally and together with you at the Citizens' Office:
- If you are under 16 years of age, your parents will submit the application jointly if they have joint custody.
- One custodial parent can be represented by the other custodial parent by power of attorney.
- If you are the person for whom the application is being made, you must appear in person as the authorities will check your identity. You must also sign if you are 10 years or older at the time of application.
- Bring the required documents with you to the appointment.
- Children aged 6 and over will have their fingerprints taken for storage in the document.
- Your Citizens' Office will inform you when you apply when you can collect your ID card.
- You can arrange a collection appointment online, by e-mail or by telephone at many citizens' offices. You can find out which options your citizens' office offers on their website, for example.
Please contact the identity card authority in your place of residence.
You can obtain an identity card if you are under 16 years of age, if you
- have German citizenship and
- are registered in Germany.
For applications outside your main place of residence:
- You or your legal guardian must have an important reason why you are not applying for your ID card at the Citizens' Registration Office at your main place of residence.
- Old identity document, regardless of whether it is valid or has already expired:

Remark:
The Citizens' Services Department is divided into the Public Order Department and the Social Affairs and Pensions Department. The Citizens' Services Department is your point of contact for many areas of everyday life. On the one hand, there is the former Public Order Office, where you can register a business or, if you are planning an event, obtain a bar permit. Would you like to celebrate a street party with your neighbors and close the street for it? Perhaps you are annoyed by parking offenders or would like to know whether you, as a resident, are obliged to clean the street? Here too, you can get help from the Citizen Services Department.
