Copy your MitID app from your old phone/tablet to a new phone/tablet:
First, download the MitID app from the Apple App Store or Google Play on the phone/tablet where you want the MitID app installed. You can have up to three active MitID apps.
- Open the MitID app on your old phone or tablet. Open the menu at the top of the screen.
- Press Activate.
- Press Copy your MitID to a new app.
- Read the information and press Next.
- Enter your PIN code or use biometric (fingerprint/Touch ID/Face ID).
- As a security measure, you need to wait for 1 hour before you can copy your MitID app. Check Yes, I want to copy and press Start copying.
- The waiting time has started. Press OK if you want to minimize the waiting window. You can close the MitID app while waiting. You'll receive a notification from the app when the waiting time is over.
- After 1 hour: Press Show QR code on the screen 'Show QR code and copy MitID to the new app'. Enter your PIN code.

- Choose Copy from another MitID app. Press Next.
- Check QR code is shown on the old app and press Scan QR code.
- Scan the QR code by holding your phone/tablet up to the QR code on your old app. Hold the screen towards yourself so that the MitID app uses your phone's camera to scan the QR code.
- Enter your user ID to confirm your identity. Press Next.
- Enter a temporary PIN code that you receive via SMS.

Your MitID app on your old phone/tablet is still active. If you no longer want to use it, you can delete it or keep it as a backup for your new MitID app, ensuring you always have access to MitID.
To copy your MitID app, your phone or tablet must have an operating system that supports the use of MitID and the MitID app. Read more about the technical requirements
