MitID with foreign passport or ID card

In June 2022, a new function in the MitID app made it possible to create a MitID directly in the MitID app if you had a valid Danish, Greenlandic or Faroese passport. The function has been updated so you can also use foreign passports or ID cards with a chip to create MitID directly in the app. Read more about getting a MitID here.

Consequently, it should be easier to create a MitID if you live abroad and need a MitID, but do not have a valid Danish passport. All you will need is a valid passport/ID card and acces to a phone that can scan the chip: an iPhone 7 or above or a newer Android phone. Read more about passport/ID card requirements here.
