The "eAusweise" app allows you to easily and securely present your driver's license and proof of age in Austria using your smartphone. Whether it's during a traffic control or in a private setting, you can share your data with just a touch of a button, completely contactless. No data transfer takes place without your consent. To use the app, you need to sign in with your ID Austria in the "Digitales Amt" app, download the "eAusweise" app for free, and protect it with fingerprint or face recognition. You can then load your digital identification documents into the app using your ID Austria. When required, you can simply present the QR code generated in the app for your digital identification, which can be scanned by the relevant party to access the necessary information. It's important to note that these digital identification documents are only valid within Austria.
To use the "eAusweise" app, you need to have the "Digitales Amt" app installed on the same device, an ID Austria with full functionality, and activated fingerprint or face recognition. For the digital driver's license, you need to have a valid Austrian card driver's license. The app does not require a new user account; instead, you can simply identify yourself using your ID Austria. The ID Austria is an enhanced version of the Handy-Signatur and provides secure two-factor authentication for digital services. Both apps are secured with fingerprint or face recognition.
The app is continuously being developed and will be expanded in the future to include new identification documents. For more information, you can visit the website provided.
