What is Buypass ID?

Buypass ID is a Norwegian electronic identity issued by Buypass, a recognised provider of electronic identification and authentication services in Norway. It is available on both a smart card and as a mobile app, and it is used to log in to public and private services, including services in the public sector and healthcare that require a high level of trust.

Verification is based on the person's Norwegian national identity number together with a personal credential such as a PIN. When someone authenticates, the scheme confirms the identity linked to that number and can return verified details such as the person's name, and the national identity number where the service is permitted to receive it. The customer proves who they are directly with their existing Buypass ID, so there is no document upload or selfie step.
