The Lazy Way to do research!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'm hoping that there's at least one German national on this site, who can help me get a few details correct.

What's the equivalent of a National Insurance / Social Security number in Germany?

What's the equivalent of the Inland Revenue?

Passport application - in the UK you use your birth certificate (I assume there must be a comparable document in Germany) and photographs
signed by a professional person such as a doctor who vouches for the
likeness. Is this roughly the same?

From a trip to Hamburg a few years back I seem to recall that citizens
have some form of ID card. Any details on this?

Cheers!

I've got a German passport: I needed my residence certificate which my dad sorted out when I was about 12, full birth certificate, some photos, ID book and a small fee. Then you just fill out a form and hand it in (in my case at the consulate).
