NemID is being phased out in Denmark and replaced by MitID, the new eID for Danish users. MitID is provided by the government and the Danish banks and is used in the same situations as NemID. However, compared to NemID, MitID allows for a higher level of security for digital identity verification.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I use Criipto as MitID broker?
There are no high upfront costs of choosing Criipto as your MitID broker. Create a free account, start testing our integration for as long as you like and chat directly with our developers through our Criipto Community support channel on Slack.
What is the impact of the switch from NemID to MitID?
For all current NemID service providers, the switch to MitID brings a new login experience for your users, and you will have to change your UI flow to accommodate MitID. In terms of the technical integration required, you have to integrate with a MitID broker such as Criipto, implying a switch to the OpenID Connect federated authentication protocol.
How does Criipto support the migration?
By switching your NemID integration to Criipto, you will be technically set for MitID as well. The only thing required is to send a different value of the parameter specifying the kind of authentication chosen. Read more about how to integrate MitID in our "getting started" documentation.
How does the new MitID QR code and app switch work?
On June 6th 2023, QR code and app switch was introduced to the MitID app to increase security as well as make it easier to open the MitID app during the authentication process.
What about MitID Erhverv (for business)?
MitID for business, "MitID Erhverv" in Danish, is being rolled out progressively from smaller to larger organizations throughout the first half of 2023. This means that the current NemID for business, "NemID medarrbejdersignatur", will continue to function until MitID for business has been fully introduced by June 30, 2023.
How do we manage NemID and MitID coexistence?
Until NemID is fully phased out by October 31st, 2023, you will need to support both NemID and MitID. With Criipto you will get a seamless identity migration path as we make it transparent whether users log in with NemID or MitID.
Can MitID phishing attacks be prevented?
MitID has unfortunately become a target of phishing attacks. Learn what an attack might look like, how it may occur and what your business can do to prevent them from happening.
