WIESBADEN, Germany - In response to the COVID-19 situation, U.S. Army Europe Customs Agency has coordinated with the German Federal Customs Directorate to authorize the automatic extension of German Forms 0217, aka Pink Cards, through June 30.

The action went into effect March 27 and eliminates the need for retirees, many of whom may be considered high risk, to visit customs offices in person.

German officials ask cardholders to either proceed via mail or delay processing until further notice.
