Overview
- The iOS and Android app is live and allows drivers to present a digital Fahrzeugschein during police checks, inspections and workshop visits.
- Users add a vehicle via the online ID function of the German ID card with PIN or a registration QR code, with offline display and time‑limited sharing by QR or link supported.
- Paper documents remain valid, are still required for trips abroad and certain procedures, and the digital version is positioned as a supplement rather than a replacement.
- The Kraftfahrt‑Bundesamt and Bundesdruckerei built the service over about two years for roughly €12 million, with fleet and corporate use slated to follow in early 2026.
- The government targets a digital driving licence by the end of 2026 and a broader wallet by 2027, while limited eID activation and uneven police training may constrain early uptake.
