AusweisApp as Open Source Software

The advantage of open source software is that people all over the world contribute to the open software culture. The source code of AusweisApp is therefore available on the online platform GitHub. Under the EUPL licence, users can get the original source code, duplicate it, develop it further, program optimizations and make them available to the community again.

Find source code on GitHub

The European Union Public License (EUPL) of AusweisApp allows the eID client to be made available for operating systems that are not officially supported, as well as use on citizen terminals and deep integration of the eID function into own applications. Suitable changes from the community can be adopted for official further development and incorporated into the certified AusweisApp provided by the federal government.
