The next generation of digital identity

From NemID to MitID

NemID was completely replaced by MitID in October 2023. MitID was initially introduced in 2021 by the Agency of Digital Government (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen) and Finans Danmark. Compared to NemID, MitID offers a higher level of security for digital identity verification.

Certified MitID broker

To enable your users to log in or sign documents with MitID, you need to use a MitID broker. The concept of MitID broker was introduced alongside the launch of MitID in 2021. A MitID broker acts as the bridge between the MitID solution itself and a business that provides end users with MitIDs for login or signatures. Criipto is a certified broker, offering a simple integration for authentication and digital signatures.

MitID QR code and app switch

On June 6th 2023, QR code and app switch were introduced to the MitID app to enhance security and simplify the process when opening the MitID app during authentication.

 

  • On desktop, users are asked to scan a QR code with the MitID app during verification. This proves that the person is physically in front of the screen during authentication and helps prevent phishing attacks.
  • On mobile, users will see an “Open MitID app” (“Åbn MitID app”) button that automatically redirects them to the MitID app. This helps the users complete the verification process.

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.

Read our documentation on getting started with MitID
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.
