Get MitID app − with your passport/ID card

When you need to activate or reactivate a MitID app, you need to confirm who you are. In the MitID app, you can identify yourself by scanning your passport/international ID card and your face (to compare with your photo), directly in the app. It is an alternative for those who e.g. do not want to go to the Citizen Service Centre to get the MitID app.

Help another person to get MitID

Do you have a relative who doesn't have MitID yet - and who has a valid passport/ID card? Then you can help the person get MitID.

Requirements for your phone

Your phone must be able to scan a chip
Make sure that your phone is updated. Read more about the technical requirements on MitID.dk/technical-requirements

The MitID app can confirm who you are

With MitID there are high requirements to confirm who you are when you get MitID. The MitID app can now help. The app can:

scan the code and read the chip in the passport/international ID card
scan a face to compare it with the photo in the passport/ID card - just like the passport control at the airport.

Information from the passport/ID card is not stored anywhere. This means that no one can access it afterwards.
