Hello everyone, here is a summary of how I imagined the new ID. The basic idea came from Anna von Reiz. For "German" conditions I have modified them a bit. I emphasize again. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Due to the difficulties with the copy shops, the test was further delayed. I do this in the copy shops to prevent the print ID of your own printer from being printed on the card. This could possibly be used to determine the location of the printer. Therefore copy shop.
The card is initially designed like a normal postcard. The sender is on the left, the recipient is on the right. For possible online bookings I would like to be able to give a number later if necessary - that can only be a registered number. My security agreement, for example, also has a registered number in the text. So actually the whole letter is registered with the UPU. The post office informed me that the registered mail number is only used to track the shipment. But this is only half the truth. Apparently they know nothing about the registration with the UPU. We don't care - I want the number. At the moment I'm still undecided whether I should stick the number under the sender or next to the stamp. The shipping should be an address confirmation. For this, however, the recipient address would have to remain visible. For my design, however, I wanted to paste over them when binding the book so that only the new ID is visible. I'll have to try it sometime to see which is better. The sender and recipient address contain the term “Poste Restante”. That means “poste restante”. A field test has shown that only Swiss Post knows what the term means. And not everyone knows that either. Poste Restante is a worldwide term for post storage – for example, it can also be found on the Turkish Post website. The advantage of using it is that it could be mistaken for part of a registration address, when in fact it is the address of the post office where the card can be picked up.
Simple letters without a registered mail number can be picked up without a name and only with a password. Registered mail unfortunately only with a personal ID or passport - that's why the recipient is the jur. Person.
I took the trouble to make the addresses a little international. Eg sender: Sender (German) /Sender (English) /Expéditeur (French) /Gönderen (Turkish) The same for the recipient.
So that it looks similar to the passport, the card is also provided with appropriate information on how the entries are defined. Because this is MY jurisdiction. I would have liked to have made it in four languages, but given the size of the font, not all printers play along properly. German and English are also completely sufficient. “The issuer owns the ID and the ID card.” This is the counterpart to the entry in the passport: The passport is the property of the Federal Republic of Germany ...
The back of the card is divided into two fields right in the middle. This allows the card to be folded later into a small booklet. The photo will later be pasted into the field on the left. Underneath the token. And under the token, the card is autographed, confirmed by two witnesses. Then red thumbprint over it and done. In the comment under the witness signatures, the witnesses are released from liability. Instead of the witnesses, a notary could also certify the autograph. Then you have to design the part accordingly and of course release the notary from liability. In the right field is the data from the passport, supplemented by the social security number and information about the parents. The indication of the parents is an idea that I copied from Turkey. The permanent residence permits contain the same information. It probably has something to do with the principle of descent. You can print almost anything on the card right from the start. The photo, the token, the signatures and the social security number are only affixed and entered after the mail has passed through. This is too sensitive data to send. One more nice final comment and the basic framework for shipping is in place.
The card is folded in half so that the photo is on the inside and the addresses are on the outside. I will have my pages impregnated and hard bound .
Additional pages are glued in at the back in case stamps should actually come in.
I did the design with a presentation program.
You can make 4 postcards with each DinA4 page. I used the 4 addresses where I hang out the most.
You just have to make sure that the front and back are divided in the middle so that they can be cut and folded cleanly later.
And pay attention to the page spacing so that the cut does not come too close to the writing when binding the book.
