German Electronic Residence Permit (eAT)

The German electronic residence permit (eAT) is issued as a plastic card in credit card format. It contains a chip on which personal data (name, date of birth, nationality, address), biometric features (photograph and fingerprints) and ancillary conditions (requirements) are stored. It also has an online ID function, which is also used for the identity card.

Detailed information on the electronic residence permit can be found on the website of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees in the electronic residence permit (eAT) section.
