About this app

MitID is your digital ID. You use it when you want to log in, sign digitally and approve actions in various self-service solutions. If you need to approve on your mobile or tablet, you do it with a single swipe in the app. To authenticate on your computer, scan a QR code.

Activate your MitID
You can activate your MitID in your app by scanning your passport/ID card or with an activation code from Borgerservice. If you have a new mobile, you can copy your MitID from your old app.

In the app you can also...
Check your user ID and change the mobile number you use for MitID.

Have a spare MitID
Having an extra MitID is a good idea. If you happen to lose your mobile with the app on it, you can still use MitID.

Ratings and reviews

Can't activate mitid on my new phone, the app keeps throwing an error message during the authentication process. I'm trying to activate using passport/Id option, and the error reappears on a different stage each time. The "copy from the previous device" option doesn't work, because my old device has the old version of the app and there is no copy option. I can't update the app because the last update doesn't support my phone.

Super frustrating that they keep making changes which don't help and all settings dissapear. NEM ID was MUCH better. Also, MitId is somehow not working and the explanation makes no sense, because on another device, doing the exact same thing it works fine...close to total worthless and only using because I'm forced to. Even the "tell us more (optional) is not working here on the rating, just trying to load forever...and that says all you need to knlw.

App activation on a new phone lacks options. You need to give activation option to those who have a code display and password and can acces mit.dk website. One cannot use a passport if the passport is not danish and if you old phone har a display problem one basically needs to go in person to the citizen service with ID documents to activate a digital signiture app which in this day and age is just ridiculos.

What's new

Honestly, not every release is equally exciting. In the previous release, it became easier to activate your MitID on a new phone by copying from your old phone.

Minor inconsistencies have been ironed out in this release: timers now display day, hour, minute, second when counting down. The activation code texts have been revised and we have updated the certificates for passport scanning.
