Centre for Infrastructure Development
The Centre for Infrastructure Development is responsible for developing the next generation of digital infrastructure via three projects: MitID (“MyID” – the 3rd generation national eID solution), NemLog-in3 (“EasyLogin” – the new generation single sign-on solution) and Næste generation Digital Post (the next generation digital letterbox for citizens and businesses).
The centre provides the foundation for furthering the digital transformation of Denmark.

The centre is responsible for preparing and implementing the solutions from start to finish. Additionally, the centre is in charge of establishing a register of contact information and a support solution, both of which will make it easier for citizens and businesses alike to get the help they require when interacting with public authorities.
