The next generation of digital identity

From NemID to MitID

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. 

Certified MitID broker

Currently, more than 4.5 million Danes use MitID login and digital signatures. Criipto is a certified, official MitID integration service (a so-called broker) and we provide a simple integration for user logins and digital signatures.

Frequently asked questions

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.

What about MitID 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 June 30, 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.
