Digital Registration Certificate: Transfer Now Possible

Until now, it could only be used by the owner himself. Meanwhile, the digital registration certificate has been used by 590,000 users since its introduction in February 2024.

The prerequisite for using the new functions is a full-function ID Austria. In addition, you need the "eAusweise" app and an activated "Digitales Amt" app on the same device. Already obtained proofs must be reloaded after the update. New security functions are integrated in the process, which are necessary for the transfer of registration data.

The duration of the transfer can be individually determined (one day or up to twelve months). However, a transferred registration certificate cannot be passed on again. The data of the registration certificate can be shown not only to the executive during traffic checks, but also to third parties via Bluetooth.

Hundreds of Thousands Use Digital Registration Certificate

"There are many cases where two people share a car, or you lend your car to a friend or relative. That's why we are expanding the digital registration certificate," emphasized the State Secretary for Digitalization, Claudia Plakolm (ÖVP).

ID-Austria currently has three million active users. Since the start of the digital driver's license in October 2022, 654,000 have been issued. 590,000 people are already using the digital registration certificate.
