The most important documents

Have the following documents ready for the application:

  • Valid ID card or passport
  • Proof of registration or current home address
  • Proof of income (e.g. payslips of the last 2–3 months)
  • Your bank details (IBAN) for the reference account
  • For the self-employed: current income tax assessment or business analysis

What to look out for

Make sure all details are current and correct. Discrepancies between your details and the documents provided can delay the application.

For prepaid cards and some debit cards, proof of income and a SCHUFA check are often not required at all.
