Be careful, if you wanna use PostIdent as a foreigner! Since I live in Germany since 5 years, I already went through this procedure a couple of times (e.g. register bank account, DHL Packstation ...). I'm using currently a Edeka Mobil Sim Card and wanted to change to LIDL Connect. As My country is not listed on the Video ID whitelist, i had to go the Post office in order to do the PostIdent procedure. Unfortunately, it was not possible anymore as they now (since Mid 2017) have new scanners, which could not find all security features on my passport. So the clerk didn't even had a chance to give in my data manually, which was previously possible. The reason seems to be, that the signature on my passport is not on the same page like the remaining data. After investigating about this issue in the internet, i found a couple of similar cases:

The clerk in the store told me, that recently passports from China, India, Korea and Taiwan were rejected from PostIdent.
