The German Identity Card (German: ''Personalausweis'') is issued to German citizens by the local registration offices and diplomatic missions abroad (although today they are produced centrally at the Bundesdruckerei in Berlin). ==Obligation of identification== According to the German law of obligation of identification, it is compulsory for all German citizens age 16 or older to possess either an identity card or a passport. While police officers and some other officials have a right to demand to see one of these documents, the law does not state that one is obliged to submit the document at that very moment. As everyone in Germany must possess an ID card or a passport, acceptance of other official documents (like driving licences) as proof of identity is not guaranteed, especially for old driving licences with less security. Driving licences issued before 2013 are not replaced in Germany, so the same document is kept. German citizens travelling inside Europe (except Belarus, Russia and Ukraine) or to Egypt, Georgia, Turkey and on organized tours to Morocco and Tunisia can use their ID card, which is a machine-readable travel document, instead of a passport.〔(Reise- und Sicherheitshinweise A-Z ) (German)〕 Just like German passports, German identity cards are valid for ten years (six years if the holder is under 24 at the day of issue). The current ID card costs 28.80 € (22.80 € if the holder is under 24 at the day of issue). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German identity card」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
