GERMAN RESIDENCE PERMIT
Description
Buy your German residence card from us and get the best genuine registered card.
The front of the German electronic residence permit carries your specific details such as surname and first name(s), not leaving out information on date of birth, nationality and gender. The type of your residence permit, the card’s period of validity with expiry date and any comments on incidental provisions are also noted on the front.
The card’s period of validity depends on the validity of your temporary residence permit. If you have a permanent residence permit, the card is valid for a maximum of ten years and then has to be re-issued. In either case, the electronic residence permit is only valid as long as the validity of the corresponding passport or substitute passport that is also entered on the front of the card. Please make sure that you apply for renewal of your passport while there is still enough time before it expires.
On the top right of the front of the card is the serial number of the electronic residence permit; the number is also written in a smaller font on the top left.
The photo is underneath this number. Your signature is reproduced in the bottom middle, and the Card Access Number/CAN is on the bottom right. A reference to notes on a supplementary sheet can be added to the back of the electronic residence permit. Specific data on your place of birth, color of eyes, address and height is entered on the back of the card. The card’s date of issue and the issuing authority are also indicated. On back of the card is the machine-readable zone around the lower part, which contains no additional personal data.
The German electronic residence permit contains a chip. With the help of a card reader or an appropriate NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet (NFC: Near Field Communication), you can use the online identification function for business transactions and activities on the internet and at cash machines.
