German IDs have different flow for scanning and officially it is allowed to scan it using government approved providers only. It is still ICAO compliant, however it will not allow you to pass. it has PIN, CAN, PUK codes to access data on chip and still it is not personal data (not sure 100%) of holder and these data should be provided by Back End of these certified providers.
