GERMAN RESIDENCE PERMIT
Description
Buy your German residence card from us and get the best genuine registered card.
Entered on the front of the electronic residence permit are your surname and first name(s) as well as information about your gender, nationality and date of birth. 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 therefore make sure that you apply for a new passport or substitute passport in plenty of 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. Personal data about your birthplace, eye colour, height and physical address is entered on the back. The card’s date of issue and the issuing authority are also indicated. The lower part of the back of the card is the machine-readable zone, which does not contain any additional personal data.
The electronic residence permit contains an electronic storage medium (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. The logo on the upper right indicates all internet applications, machines and card readers for which you can use the online function.
