Apply for parental allowance digitally

"ElterngeldDigital" is specially designed to guide parents step by step through the application process. The necessary information is recorded in a structured manner with the help of specific questions. To use the service, either authentication with the BundID or the creation of a Parental AllowanceDigital account is required. Using the BundID has the advantage that the application can be made completely online. Otherwise, parents still have to sign an application form and send it to the administration. Additional documents, with the exception of the birth certificate, can also be uploaded directly into the system. The original birth certificate must always be sent to the administration.

  • The "ElterngeldDigital" service can be accessed on the city's website at www.idar-oberstein.de/buergerdienste or directly at www.elterngeld-digital.de.
