A foreign passport/ID card and no Danish CPR number? 

If you have forgotten your user ID and have a foreign passport or a passport without a Danish CPR number, you need to contact Citizen Service.

In order for MitID Support to provide your user ID, you need to identify yourself over the phone. You must provide either your passport or driver's license number (valid Danish or Greenlandic driver's license or passport) and then answer a series of questions based on your information in the CPR. If you cannot answer enough questions, MitID Support cannot provide your user ID, and you will need to visit Citizen Service in person to get your user ID.

Call MitID Support at +45 33 98 00 10

You need to call, not write to us

Please note that you can only get your user ID by calling the support. You cannot send a written request to the support to get your user ID.

You can also get your user ID by visiting Citizen Service. You must confirm your identity by answering some questions about yourself based on your information in the CPR.
