If you are unable to participate in public life on your own, you can be exempted from the obligation to have an ID card.
This is possible, for example, if you are severely restricted in your mobility and cannot move around in public on your own.
You can cancel the exemption at any time. All you need to do is apply for an identity card or passport.
The confirmation that you are exempt from the ID requirement can be presented to the authorities, for example.
Responsible authority
The identity card authorities in Baden-Württemberg are
- the municipalities as local police authorities
- the administrative communities, which perform or fulfil the tasks of the registration authority.
As a rule, the citizens' offices or the citizens' offices fulfil the tasks of an identity card authority.
The identity card authority in whose district you are registered with your home, or your main residence if you have more than one home, is responsible for you.
