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...
View or change your user ID, change the mobile number you use for MitID, block or reactivate MitID, approve with a button instead of a swipe, or choose the app in multiple languages.

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.

MitID has been developed by The Agency for Digital Government and Finance Denmark – on behalf of the public and financial sectors.

Ratings and reviews

Complicated to use, and when I use it, it opens the Google Chrome browser on my Android device, instead of my default browser, or instead of returning to the app I called from. And good luck trying to contact the support, I had to scan my passport and face, and apparently I do not look like my passport photo, and got rejected. For contacting support. Not impressed.

The app used to work and then one day I open it and now it has completely forgotten me. When I try to reactivate and finally get through the stupid and brittle process the app says that it's encountered an error and that I need to reactivate it. WHICH WAS WHAT I WAS ALREADY DOING

The App itself works fine on certain devices. But if you want to use it on a much more secure device rather than your typical apple/android phone, MitID will just flat out block you from doing so on activation. I use GrapheneOS.

What’s new

With the new release of the MitID app, it is now possible to block and reactivate your MitID directly in the app. You can also choose to approve with a button instead of a swipe, and you now have the option to use the app in Greenlandic. Behind the scenes, work has been done on small details, improvements and fixes that you may not necessarily notice.
