Great post - one problem - it says on the form that Notary Public cannot be accepted, at the bottom of Identification pages the below where they/you sign.
If I go to Germany without getting documents signed by Irish attorney are we sure that Deutsche Post would validate a passport if I brought in a bill? Has anyone done this successfully by anyone here?
Would prefer to avoid the lawyers fees and am already booked on a flight to Berlin.
Has something changed - tried to create an account but got a strange message:
. DKB-Cash Prüfung
Leider konnten wir Ihrem Wunsch nach einem DKB-Cash im Rahmen unserer automatischen Entscheidung nicht entsprechen. Die notwendigen Voraussetzungen für ein DKB-Cash liegen gemäß Ihren Angaben nicht vor.
Ein zweiter Antragsteller kann sich positiv auf die Entscheidung Ihres Antrages auswirken.
Which loosely translates :
DKB-cash review
Unfortunately we could not meet your desire for a DKB cash under our automatic decision. The necessary conditions for a DKB cash no are available according to your information.
A second applicant can positively affect the decision of your application.

With your application document there should be a "PostIdent-Coupon", you need this when going to the post office. If there is no "PostIdent-Coupon" with your application documents you can't go to a post office.
The post office does not care that this is for DKB, all they care about it that you have the "PostIdent-Coupon", your valid passport and an address validation document.
They scan the barcode from the "PostIdent-Coupon", type all info into the computer and give you a document to sign. Than they send all the documents to DKB but you must ensure they also send the address valdiation document which is unsual for them as german id cards have the address printed on them and germans with passports use "Meldebescheinigung" to proof address which you don't have.
So as long as you can tell them you live outside germany and they are able to type your address into the computer and attach the address validation document (like your utility bill) to the paperwork all will be fine.
Loads of us have gone down this road and it's the normal way a person in Germany would open the account.
But remember that DKB will give you a refund up to 20€ for using an attorney and last time an attorney did a similar thing for me it was 10€.

Unfortuntately this didn't work for me. I went to a Deutsche Post, presented Post Ident and asked for them to fill it out as detailed in above post.
They wanted a german address. They were older ladies and so seemed to just be sticking to the line. You know they werent quite sure. My German is ok, like I could get the idea across that I believed what I had to be enough - a utility bill as a vaildation document. But they wanted the Meldebescheinigung.
Just for anyone who makes the trip this info might be useful. I was in the old East btw. Maybe try another Deutshce Post. I didnt bother.
Ill be in Germany is a few weeks, so Im going to try to open an account also in person at a branch
