The card manufacturer shall send card applicants the PIN code, PUK code and blocking code for the identity card in order to use, block and unblock the electronic identification function. The PIN code shall be sent separately from the other documents. If the card applicant presents legitimate grounds for doing so, the documents referred to in the first sentence shall be sent to the identity card authority which hands out the identity card. This authority shall provide the card holder with the documents. The identity card authority shall inform the card holder of the risks of this process at the time of application.
