A new eID​​ solution replacing NemID

MitID is the new eID for the Danish population and is expected to be launched by Digitaliseringsstyrelsen in Denmark in the summer 2021. Nets Trust Services will support MitID as soon as it is available.​

What is a MitID Broker?

For service providers to access the MitID service, Digitaliseringsstyrelsen has decided to certify private companies to handle the role as broker for the MitID services. Signaturgruppen by Nets has already been certified as a MitID Broker.

What is the expected timeline?

MitID will go live in the beginning of May with private MitID identifications. MitID signing will go live mid June and the issuance of MitID employee identities will go live in December. 

NemID users will be migrated to MitID from the go live date until end of year.  

What do I have to do as an existing NemID service provider through E-Ident and E-Signing?

Nets will send out information to all NemID customers when the customer test environment has been enabled with MitID. Your test configuration will be enabled with MitID.

For identification, you might need to do updates related to GUI changes and the user information returned. See E-Ident developer pages for more information.

For signing, you might need to do updates related to GUI changes and updates of the sign order. There might be changes to the signature format, but as far as we know it will still be possible to use SDO. The PDF validation of documents is almost the same for MitID as NemID. More information will be added to the E-Signing developer pages when we know more.

What is the MitID identification tools?

MitID identification tools are different methods used for MitID identification. The tools are:

• Username / password
• MitID app
• MitID code viewer
• MitID chip
• MitID code reader
