MitID

Denmark

MitID is Denmark’s national digital identity system, used for secure access to public and private services such as online banking, tax filing, and government self-service portals. It was introduced as the successor to NemID and is overseen by the Danish Agency for Digital Government. MitID is close to universal among adults in Denmark, and while it is not legally compulsory, it is the standard way people prove who they are online across regulated services.

What is MitID?

MitID is Denmark’s national digital identity system, used for secure access to public and private services such as online banking, tax filing, and government self-service portals. It was introduced as the successor to NemID and is overseen by the Danish Agency for Digital Government. MitID is close to universal among adults in Denmark, and while it is not legally compulsory, it is the standard way people prove who they are online across regulated services.

MitID uses a passwordless model. The person enters their chosen user ID and then approves the login with an identification method, most often the MitID app with a personal PIN and a swipe to approve, or a hardware code reader. On successful authentication, verified attributes such as name and date of birth are returned. Through the CPR matching flow, the person can also confirm and share their CPR number on consent.

Zenoo runs MitID as a pre-built connector in the same eID network as its other national schemes. The person authenticates with MitID, and Zenoo receives the verified result and passes it into your case with a full audit record.
