German term or phrase: Dienstausweis
Hello all,

This is something presented to a new Honorary Consul, together with his/her Ernennungsurkunde, when he/she is appointed. Do you think this is a diplomatic ID card, or something else? I'm really looking for the specific term - i'm sure it must exist in all languages, as all consuls/ambassadors will have one of these!

Many thanks!
