Electronic service and troop ID

An electronic service and troop ID card (eDTA) was tested from 2008. From 2013 the electronic service and troop ID was issued nationwide. It combines the previous troop ID card in paper form and the Bundeswehr PKI card in one card.

The electronic service and troop ID card is a polycarbonate card in ID-1 format according to ISO / IEC 7810 (dimensions: 85.60 × 53.98 mm; also used for electronic ID cards as well as driver's licenses and bank cards ). With the use of a biometric passport photo, it meets the latest security standards. Features to protect the ID card against forgery include a hologram, iris color gradients, microscripts and copy-resistant printing inks. The new card is valid for five years from the start of the application.

There is a contact chip on the back of the ID card, on which all visible data such as surname, first name and the department affiliation are stored.

criticism

The lack of protection against forgery of the ID card in paper form was often criticized. While the identity card is already provided with biometric features and is machine-readable, the Bundeswehr was still working with adhesive photos and official seals. Plans to replace the classic troop ID with a chip card initially failed due to the enormous costs of such a system. The document, which soldiers are supposed to use to legitimize themselves, is also little known among the civilian population.

Identity card for reservists

It grants access to military areas unless the access is subject to a special regulation e.g. B. Exclusion Zones. The identity card can be obtained upon request:

  • Former professional soldiers
  • Reservists who want to maintain contact with their dispatch unit outside of reservist service
  • Mandate holder of the Association of Reservists of the German Armed Forces .
  • People who perform tasks in the interests of the Bundeswehr, e.g. B. Reservist work.

The ID contains the following information:

  • Rank
  • Surname
