- Continue on the phone you used to scan your passport.
- Select App on another phone/tablet on the screen "How do you want to authenticate with MitID?" Tap Next.
- Tap Show QR code on the screen “Activate new app with QR code”.
- As a security measure to confirm it’s you scanning the QR code, MitID needs to use Bluetooth. Allow the MitID app to use Bluetooth.

- Tap Get started on the screen “Activate your MitID.”.
- Select Copy from another MitID app. Tap Next.
- Check the box QR code is shown on the old app and tap Scan QR code.

- Now scan the QR code by holding your new phone/tablet up to the QR code on your old phone/tablet. When you see a green checkmark, the QR code scan is complete.
- Enter your user ID to confirm your identity. Then tap Next.
- Enter the temporary PIN code you receive via SMS.
