The division is responsible for a diverse portfolio of activities, which broadly fall within two main areas: • Implementation of EU Regulations (eIDAS, EBW and the Single Digital Gateway Regulation) • Development and operation of apps and digital solutions
The division is responsible for activities related to the implementation and compliance with a number of EU regulations on digital identity and cross-border digital services.
The division is responsible for the Danish implementation of the eIDAS Regulations. The eIDAS and eIDAS2 Regulations establish the common European framework for electronic identification (eID) and trust services. Among other things, they require that, under certain conditions, citizens must be able to use their national eID, such as MitID, to authenticate themselves when accessing online public services in other EU Member States.
The eIDAS2 Regulation also introduces the European Digital Identity Wallet framework. As part of this work, Denmark is developing its national digital identity wallet, AltID, which in time will be interoperable across the EU.
The division is also responsible for coordinating and implementing the Single Digital Gateway (SDG) Regulation. The Regulation aims to make it easier for EU citizens and businesses operating digitally across Member States to access information and complete administrative procedures within the Single Market.
In addition, the Division monitors the implementation of the European Commission's proposal for a European Business Wallet (EBW). The proposal aims to establish European business wallets that enable businesses and authorised company representatives to identify themselves, share digital credentials and use qualified trust services across the EU.

The Division is responsible for the development, operation and rollout of AltID. The development of AltID forms part of Denmark's implementation of the eIDAS2 Regulation. AltID enables citizens to store digital credentials in one place while giving them greater control over their personal data. At present, AltID includes the Photo ID Card and the Proof of Age credential. Over time, additional credentials, including the Health Insurance Card and Driving Licence, will also be available in the wallet. As the solution evolves into an eIDAS2-compliant European Digital Identity Wallet, AltID will eventually be usable across the EU.
The Division is also responsible for the development, operation and continuous improvement of the Health Insurance Card app and the Driving Licence app. In addition, the division develops and operates the eID Gateway and the Once-Only Technical System, which support cross-border digital identification and the exchange of official evidence within the EU.
