Process of online identification

The online identification works like this:

1. The holder of the ID card wants to use a web service that requires an online identification.
2. AusweisApp2 verifies the security requirements for the online identification and displays the authorization certificate of the service provider as well as the requested set of data.
3. By entering the PIN, the card holder releases the transmission of data.

Attention

The online identification can be cancelled at the beginning with the following error messages:

• The eID function of your ID card is not activated.
• PIN blocked
