MitID

MitID (the Danish National eID) is Denmark's digital ID that residents will use to access their public self-service solutions.

MitID is a digital ID that can be used for various purposes, including transferring money in online banking or logging into public self-service solutions like skat.dk, borger.dk, and sundhed.dk. MitID complies with the latest international security standards and is also modular and flexibly designed.

MitID is primarily an app where you can approve actions online with a swipe. There are alternatives available if you cannot or do not want to use the MitID app, such as the MitID code display, MitID code reader, and MitID chip. MitID is free to obtain and use.

The age limit to get MitID is 13 years. However, there may be a higher age limit to use individual self-service solutions, which is determined by the providers of those solutions.

MitID - developed and owned by the public sector and financial institutions

MitID is the result of a well-established and unique collaboration between the public sector and the country's financial institutions. This collaboration has been driven by a strong desire to create a single solution that you, as a user, can use across public and private self-service solutions - whether you need to log in to borger.dk, skat.dk, or transfer money in online banking, for example.

The MitID partnership consists of the Agency for Digitisation, representing the state, the Danish regions, and municipalities, and the country's financial institutions, represented by their industry organization, Finance Denmark. It is the MitID partnership that is the sole owner of MitID.
