Check your phone

In order for you to download and use MitID on your phone, it must meet the minimum requirements. You must be sure that your phone and your MitID app is updated to the latest version.

Check your passport/foreign ID card

You can use your passport/foreign ID card to create a MitID on the MitID app, although they must meet the minimum requirements. This is due to safety.

Your passport/foreign ID card must be valid. Make sure that it has not expired.
Your Passport/foreign ID card must have a chip. You can see if your passport/foreign ID card have a chip, by looking for a square symbol with a circle and a line through it on the front (see below). The chip will be read by the app in order to confirm your identity.
Please note that not all passports/foreign ID cards can be used to create a MitID with the app. Check this site to see if your passport/foreign ID card can be used.

If you want MitID but do not have a Danish CPR number

If you do not have a Danish CPR number, you must acquire a ‘P-code’. A P-code is an 8-digit code, that you must use when confirming your identity with a foreign passport/ID card.
Since the P-code will be used in the MitID app, it is recommended that you acquire it beforehand.
Please note that several places do not accept a MitID created with a P-code, since they require a CPR number.
