MitID

MitID

MitID is the next generation of NemID, the most widely-used form of digital identity in Denmark since 2010. All NemID users will migrate to MitID during 2021-22.

MitID eID

The new eID for Denmark

MitID can be used for all the same scenarios where NemID has been used, including online banking, e-commerce and accessing public services.
Launched in 2021, MitID was developed by the Danish Authority for Digitisation and Finans Danmark, an organisation representing Danish banks, to address the newest security requirements.

For users, MitID is very similar to NemID. You need an authenticator to provide a method of two-factor authentication after logging in with your user ID and password. This will typically be the MitID app for smartphones and tablets, which generates the one-time use codes you need to authenticate yourself.

Alternatively, you can use a hardware device to generate your codes, either the MitID code display or audio code reader. A third hardware method is the MitID chip, which offers convenience to people who need to use MitID several times a day, such as for work. The chip can connect to your device via USB, Bluetooth or NFC.

As a security improvement, MitID discontinues the use of the NemID code cards, which are too easily copied and abused.

MitID Erhverv (business)

Just like MitID replaced NemID, MitID Erhverv has replaced NemID medarbejdersignatur.

MitID Erhverv is for all companies, associations and authorities that have employees or users who need to log in to public self-service solutions.

MitID Erhverv is accessible and used in a similar way to MitID private, though instead of verifying a personal number (a CPR-number) you can verify a company registration number (a CVR-number) towards a MitID.
