Simplified application for signature and seal cards for public authorities
Increasing numbers of public authorities are using electronic signatures to digitise the processes and documents in their organisation. To create qualified electronic signatures, employees in public authorities need to have their own signature cards issued to them. Applicants must always identify themselves personally. Frequently, identification procedures outside the organisation carried out by third parties are used for this purpose, e.g. the PostIdent or NotaryIdent procedure.
Shortened application process
In order to shorten the application process, BehördenIdent is an uncomplicated solution that verifies the identity of the applicant centrally on site in your public offices. The simplified, convenient identification procedure speeds up the introduction of official signature and seal cards for federal, state and municipal authorities.
The identification procedure for applying for qualified eIDAS-certified solutions was developed by D-Trust GmbH, the trust service provider of the Bundesdruckerei Group, and certified by TÜViT.

Product details
This is how BehördenIdent works
Employees of the authorities in the public sector who need a qualified signature card can easily apply for one directly in their own offices. BehördenIdent provides these organisations with the tools for the identification of applicants on site in their administrative offices as prescribed by law.
The data is recorded and the applicant identified by a person authorised in that administrative section, the BehördenIdent officer. That person confirms the identity of the applicant and the applicant’s bona fide status in the public authority. D-Trust provides a special application page for recording the applicant's personal details.
The BehördenIdent officer verifies the information and confirms the correctness of the application documents with the official seal. The central control concept of the procedure makes the previously used identification via third-parties unnecessary.
After receipt by D-Trust of the authorised application, it passes through the next process steps after checks that the application is complete. D-Trust produces the authorised signature or seal card and sends it to the applicant by registered mail.

Frequently asked questions
With BehördenIdent, identification at a post office is no longer necessary. The legally required identification for applying for trust services is carried out entirely on your premises. To this end, you simply provide the names of your chosen identification staff to D-Trust. These employees are then requested to deposit a sample signature and an illustration of their official seal with D-Trust.
On the application page, which is programmed individually for each organisation, D-Trust can pre-define standardised points for selection by the applicants via a drop-down list. Prefilled content may include, for example, information on the organisation (i.e. the issuing authority) or on job titles or functions (which are stored in the certificate as job attributes).
The prefilling of contents is only possible with the BehördenIdent Komfort package.
