An identification system is described that has: a plurality of user media (1), each of which has an integrated circuit (2) having memory means and an identification code (8) stored in the memory means; at least one reading device; wherein the reading device (41) is capable of contactlessly reading data for an authentication process from the integrated circuit (2) via radio waves; and wherein the identification system additionally has a user management device (31) and is capable of initiating or not initiating a process on the basis of whether the read user medium is recorded as authorised in the user management device. The system is distinguished in that each user medium additionally has an optically readable code (7) that contains an identification information item individually identifying the user medium in question, wherein the identification system is capable of recording a user medium recognised via the optically readable code in the user management device.
