The government will ask you for identity documents when you arrive at the Ankunftszentrum (Reception center) for registration.
↓
Your documents will be given back to you once the BAMF has decided on your asylum application.
↓
Ask the government for copies of your documents before giving them away. Even better: Make photos and save them online (so you can not lose them and print them if needed). During the asylum application the copies will be very useful.

Please note: On the Aufnahmeschein (White Paper) – handed out at registration – will be written what kind of documents you gave out. So please keep it at least until the end of the asylum application!
