Apply for a mobile ICT card

The procedure is as follows:

• Depending on the immigration office and the nature of your enquiry, it may be possible to submit an application online. Please check whether your immigration office offers online applications.
• If you can only submit your application in person, please arrange an appointment with the Foreigners’ Registration Office. During the appointment, your application will be accepted and your supporting documents will be checked (please bring these with you to the appointment). Your fingerprints will be taken to produce the MobilerICT card.
• If you submit your application electronically, the Foreigners’ Registration Office will contact you once your online application has been received to arrange an appointment at the office, if necessary. During the appointment, your supporting documents will be checked (please bring these with you to the appointment) and your fingerprints will be taken for the production of the Mobiler ICT card.
• If your application is approved, the Immigration Authority will arrange for a MobilerICT card to be issued.
• After about six to eight weeks, you can collect your MobilerICT card from the Immigration Office.
• The Mobile ICT Card must, as a rule, be collected in person.

Alternatively, you can also submit the application to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees via the BSCW server (https://bscw.bund.de). The relevant immigration authority will then decide on the application.
