MitID for Danes abroad and for foreigners with connection to Denmark
Mitid for danes abroad and foreigners with connection to denmark
Now it has become easier to get a MitID if you are Dane and live abroad
or if you are a foreigner and have a connection to Denmark.
In June 2022, a new function
in the MitID app made it possible to create a MitID directly in the MitID app
if you had a valid Danish, Greenlandic or Faroese passport. The function has been
updated so you can also use foreign passports or ID cards with a chip to create
MitID directly in the app.

Consequently, it should be
easier to create a MitID if you live abroad, need a MitID, but do not have a
valid Danish passport.
All you will need is a valid
passport/ID card and access to a phone that can scan the chip: an iPhone 7 or above
or a newer Android phone.
You will continue to be able
to use NemID for all public self-service solutions until NemID finally closes
on 30 June 2023.
