eID <\/strong>In Germany, the function for electronic identification<\/a> has been integrated into the mandatory national legal photo ID since 2010. <\/p>\n

ePayment <\/strong>Among others, providers for ePayment services in the German public sector are paydirekt<\/a> and ePayBL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Messaging <\/strong>The German government’s digital mailing service De-Mail<\/a> is offered by public authorities and companies and provides a legally and secure way of communication. There is no government SMS service in place.<\/p>\n

Transparency <\/strong>Germany currently has no measures in place to offer insights in personal ongoing affairs. This might change with the implementation of the so-called Datencockpit<\/a>t in the near future.<\/p>\n

General Digital Services <\/strong>The level of user satisfaction is measured by the eGovernment Monitor<\/a> on a yearly basis. No systematic measurement of digital form submission has been found.<\/p>\n

The Digital Government MetaMonitor<\/em> indicates a low level of quality of publicly available data on the German eID’s uptake, more than ten years after its first implementation.
