What is the KVNR and why do you need it?
The Krankenversichertennummer (KVNR) is your lifelong, 10-digit health insurance ID in Germany. It’s assigned by a statutory body and based on your Rentenversicherungsnummer (pension insurance number).
You need a KVNR to access digital health services such as electronic patient records, e-prescriptions, and the implant registry. Without one, you cannot use these services and your care may be delayed.
Who already has one?
You might already have a KVNR in the following cases:
You had public health insurance in Germany before. You can find it on your old public health insurance card.
You requested it from your previous german private health insurer.
How do you get it?
You’ll automatically receive your KVNR the first time you use a digital health service in Germany.
The authority (ITSG) will generate it using your pension insurance number.
If you don’t have a KVNR or aren’t sure, you can request one now by clicking the button below.
