Digital solutions are renewed or replaced over time. That happens because of security requirements and new technology. MitID satisfy the newest requirements for security, so we also in the future can use the internet with confidence.

MitID is your digital ID that you will use to access the public self-service solutions. You will use the same log on whether you log on to your online bank or to do your taxes on skat.dk.

MitID is primarily an app

If you are in the habit of using the NemID app, you will not experience a significant difference. Once you have created your MitID, you can choose the new MitID app and use it in much the same way you are use to from the NemID app. The code card is discontinued because it is too easy to copy and abuse. If you cannot use the MitID app, you have alternatives. See alternatives here.

Protect your MitID

Even if MitID is as secure as the newest standards require, you still need to protect your personal MitID. Read more about MitID security here.

MitID is envisioned and developed by the Danish Authority for Digitisation and Finans Danmark – an organisation representing Danish banks.
