About
Prove your identity online with a German ID card or residence permit. AusweisApp is the official eID client of the German federal government, so you can authenticate with services that accept the electronic ID function.
The app communicates with the card as a smartcard. The source code is published under the EUPL v1.2, while the official build is provided by Governikus Service GmbH on behalf of the federal government. It is available on Flathub for Linux and as a Homebrew cask on macOS.
