If you forgot your password or your password has been temporarily blocked, MitID Support can help you get a new password.
First, you must identify yourself on the phone. To do so, you must inform us your drivers license number or passport number (valid danish/greenlandic drivers license or passort) and then answer some questions based on your information in the danish CPR register.
Now you get a SMS with an activation code. Follow the guide in the SMS to create your new password.
If you can't answer enough questions about yourself, MitID Support can't send you the SMS with the activation code and you must get help at Citizen Service to create a new password.
If your mobile phone number within the last 5 days has been registered or changed on your MitID profile, MitID Support can't send you the SMS with the activation code and you must get help at Citizen Service to create a new password.
Call MitID Support: 0045 33 98 00 10
Be aware that you can only get the temporary activation code by calling MitID Support. The reason is that you need to identify yourself to support by answering some questoins.
