Attention: ID card fees are increasing – pay 46 euros now!
Announcement from the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) dated January 30, 2026: New fees for applying for identity cards now apply. These changes came into effect on February 7, 2026, and the adjustment in fees is due to increased costs, both at the ID card manufacturer and at the ID card authorities.
The new rates for applying for ID cards are as follows:
| Old | Fee in euros |
|---|---|
| From 24 years old | 46.00 |
| Under 24 years | 27.60 |
Background of the change
The price increase is in response to the continuously rising costs, which are caused in particular by the production and administration of identity cards. This increase is intended to ensure that services can continue to be provided at the usual quality.
With the new fee schedule, the state is obliged to provide citizens with transparent information about the costs of identity documents. The changes are part of a comprehensive strategy to modernize ID card management.
For further information and details about the fee increase, interested readers can view the BMI announcement on the Mintraching municipality website: Mintraching reports.
