Online application by email:
Alternatively you can send us your BAföG electronically by email without a signature. You will need your own De-Mail account in order to do this. Send the De-Mail with confirmation of its dispatch (Registration with ‘high’ authentification level and/or ‘private/personal’)
De-Mail encrypts, protects and sends verified electronic messages. It is as easy as sending an email. In contrast, it is possible with De-Mail to verify the identity of communication partners, as well as the dispatch and receipt of De-Mails with absolute certainty.
The contents of a De-Mail cannot be read or changed once it has been sent. Saved application procedures and connections to De-Mail service providers take care of the encrypted transportation path between the De-Mail providers for a secure dispatch and receipt.
