Medical ID automatically creates your Advance Directive as a PDF – or you can upload an existing one.


## Variant 1: Create with Medical ID


In the generator, your Advance Directive is automatically created as a PDF. The legal sections have already been checked; you add your personal free text and your information.


Procedure:

1. Open **Advance Directive → Directive** and select **Create with Medical ID**.
2. Select **Start** or **Open Generator**.
3. Fill in the required fields. Name and date of birth are from **Personal Data**; complete your medical Instructions, representation details, and place and date.
4. Put your signature under **My signature**.
5. Select **Save and recreate PDFs** – the PDF will be generated and saved per display language.


### Free text and languages


- What you write in **the current language** in the text field will be automatically translated into your other languages (DeepL) when you save it.
- If you want a **different source language**, first select the tab of that language at the top and write there.
- Alternatively, you can maintain each language yourself in manual mode.


## Option 2: Upload your own directive


Already have a Advance Directive? Open **Advance Directive → Directive**, select **Upload your own directive** and then **Upload**. Upload the file as a **PDF per language**. Up to 2 pages are possible in the free version, up to 4 pages during the trial period and with Lifetime. A file can be no larger than 10 MB. Select the correct document language in the tab bar.


You can replace or delete an uploaded Advance Directive later. Then check **PDF Preview** or in the download to see if the correct version is stored.


## Treatment Instructions / Blood Products


In the treatment instructions, you can specify detailed wishes (e.g. for blood and blood components). If you activate this list, you will have to fill it out **completely** – incomplete information can lead to your treatment request not being taken into account in emergencies.


## Tariff notice


With a **Free account** you only download/create the Advance Directive in your **residence language**. With **Lifetime** you unlock **all languages**.


## Download


You can download a Advance Directive created with the generator under **Downloads** per language via **With signature** or **Without signature**. On the other hand, you can open or download a self-uploaded Advance Directive in the **Advance Directive → Directive** area.
