About this app

With the "eAusweise" app, you can easily, securely, and digitally present your driver's license, registration details, proof of identity, your student ID and proof of age in Austria on your smartphone – during a traffic check or in private. Share your data simply at the touch of a button and completely contactless. No data is transferred without your consent.
How it works:
1. Log in to the "ID Austria" app with your ID Austria or an eIDAS-notified eID (as defined in Art. 6 (1) of the eIDAS Regulation).
2. Download the "eAusweise" app for free.
3. Unlock the app using your fingerprint, facial recognition, or device password.
4. Upload your digital IDs to the "eAusweise" app using the full-function ID Austria or an eIDAS-notified eID (as defined in Art. 6 (1) of the eIDAS Regulation) (in this case, the data must be available in an Austrian register).
5. Specify whether the app is allowed to notify you about digital credentials that are about to expire.
6. During a verification, simply present the QR code created in the app for your digital ID. Your counterpart scans the QR code and can retrieve the required data.

Technical interfaces are available for verification by the Austrian executive branch, but not for verification by foreign authorities.
You will need:
· The "ID Austria" app installed on the same device
· An ID Austria with full functionality (more information can be found at ida.gv.at) or an eIDAS-notified eID (as defined in Art. 6 (1) of the eIDAS Regulation)
· Activated fingerprint function or facial recognition. Alternatively, an activated device password.
· For the digital driver's license: a valid Austrian credit card driver's license.
· For the digital registration data: a vehicle registration certificate issued in Austria.

No new user account is required for the "eAusweise" app; you simply identify yourself using your ID Austria. ID Austria is the next generation of the Handy-Signatur and offers secure two-factor authentication for digital services. To do so, log in to the "ID Austria" app with your ID Austria and allow the "eAusweise" app to access the required information. Both apps are secured by fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, or a device password.

The app is continuously being developed and new credentials will be added in the future.

Ratings and reviews

After regularly giving government's apps 1 star ratings because of fail after fail after fail.. it worked. several times. Now I didn't use it for a few weeks, wanted to test it.. logged out, all documents gone (cool if I would just need to show them to an officer, just great). Login needs a second device, and shows "Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten" error message. I am a software developer for 30 years, so I do not fulfil the basic prerequisites of using apps..

Works well with an ID Austria (Vollversion). Yes, you will get an error message if you only have the ID Austria Basisversion (I'm looking at you, you one star reviewers 😉). And just because people have complaint; You can get an ID Austria Vollversion without an Austrian ID (Passport). Just read the FAQ's. You will need to get in touch with the Landespolizeidirektion.

Would give it 0 stars if it was possible. It always shows me an error message saying that a problem occurred during login. Even after uninstalling this app and the "Digitales Amt" app several times. Please fix this!

What’s new

From now on, the digital student ID can be downloaded in the app and presented thereafter.
