You are not allowed to:

• You must not see or become familiar with the personal code for the one you help or support. The codes are not to be shared with anyone.
• You are not allowed to handle or keep the MitID app, code display, audio code reader or chip for the person you assist or support. They are all personal and are only to be kept and used by the person, who's MitID is attached.

Don't see

You must look away, when the person you assist creates or enters the following:

• The user ID that is used everytime MitID is used.
• PIN code to be used when the user approves in the MitID app.
• Access code to be used with the user's code display and audio code reader.

How and when can you get MitId?

You can get MitID, once you are notified by your bank that it is your turn.

Until your bank tells you, it is your time to get MitID, you must be patient. It doesn't help to contact your bank, they will not be able to help you, until it is your turn.

You cannot get MitID for someone else

You cannot get MitID for someone else. A person, who is not able to get MitID on their own (even with the assistance described above), must visit their citizen service centre - if that person is required to log in or approve transactions using self-service solutions. If the person needs someone to do actions in self service (e.g. relateives), the relatives must have power of attorney to that specifik self service.
