Germany has not yet introduced a national digital identity wallet but plans to adopt the EUDI Wallet. The current usable national identity app in Germany is the AusweisApp2. This app allows users to utilize their electronic identity card (eID) for secure online identification. With AusweisApp2, individuals can prove their identity digitally, enabling them to complete various tasks online, such as submitting applications that would typically require in-person verification and signatures.

Data included in the national electronic ID card: photograph, the data the person can see on his/her ID card (Surname, Name at birth, given names, date of birth, place of birth, date of expiry, card access number, signature, colour of eyes, address, height, date, authority, religious name or pseudonym, logo eID function) and, if the person wishes, also his/her fingerprints. The person decides whether his/her fingerprint data will be stored on the ID card.ref
