In order to activate the KulturPass budget in the KulturPass app, the identity of the young person must be verified. 

The KulturPass uses a digital procedure that works via the online function of the ID document. It can be carried out with one of these three types of ID:

• the German ID card (for German nationals)
• the eID (for EU citizens and EEA nationals)
• the eAT (electronic residence permit for citizens from third countries)

However, there are young people in Germany who are unable to obtain one of these three types of ID document with an online function.

There is an alternative verification procedure for them: 

The young people in question can visit cooperating institutions and organizations in their area. On site, the ID document in paper form is checked by specialists and the identity of the young person is verified.
