Posted 19 Dec 2020 I was very confused about it. Just experienced this the last 2 years. I thought it's just the usual discrimination/racism issue. Which it kinda is. I'll try to get a passport with a chip when I renew mine. This is bullshit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Dec 2020 Thanks to a recent legal action you can use your eAT instead @vaonba (https://www.openpetition.de/petition/blog/ausweise-klassifizierung-eines-elektronischen-aufenthaltstitels-als-identifikationsdokument) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll just say personally not my experience. Well, time to get a German passport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Dec 2020 Just out of curiosity, I tried to use the Postident app using my eAT. It works for congstar. But doesn't work for bank-related stuffs. In person, nothing works, they told me to try the video chat actually. As suggested above, probably need to go to a larger post office and even then probably depends on the mood of the employee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Dec 2020 A friend of mine successfully did it in Berlin (some central branch) for a bank. I think video chat might actually work (now that you can use the eAT). If you make noise on social media (like Twitter) hinting it's discrimination (which it is) they might help you out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Dec 2020 I guess I forgot to mention it. But video chat Postident through the app didn't work. They just referred me back to Postident at a physical office. The video chat for N26 also didn't work despite their website claiming my passport is accepted. Not sure if they used WebID, IDnow or something else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
