Derzeit gibt es zwei Formen der Bürgerkarte: auf dem Handy als sogenannte "Handy-Signatur" oder als Karte über Smartcards wie z.B. die e-card. Die Handy-Signatur ist eine vollwertige Bürgerkarte, die am Handy aktiviert wird. Der Vorteil ist, dass kein Kartenlesegerät notwendig ist.

Möglichkeiten zur Handy-Aktivierung

Für eine Handy-Signatur kann man sich sowohl persönlich als auch online registrieren. Soll die Handy-Signatur sofort verfügbar sein, muss man entweder bereits eine Bürgerkarte besitzen oder sich persönlich vor Ort registrieren. Bei der Online-Registrierung muss mit einer Wartezeit auf einen Bestätigungsbrief von einigen Tagen gerechnet werden.
