PAuswG
Abbreviation for Personalausweisgesetz
In short and in plain language
The PAuswG is a German law about the identity card.
Among other things, it says when a card may be copied. It also says how such copies must be handled.
So it matters for firms that get copies of identity cards through their website. One example is estate agents.
