I'm headed back next week and will let you know whether I can use it or what I can find out from the Bundespolizei.
Definitely let me know. I spoke to the Bundespolizei in Frankfurt, and they said it should just work. They said sometimes it fails to read the document correctly. Unfortunately they also told me since I registered in Cologne they can’t look me up to see if it worked. I will also report back here when I fly out next week what happens.
