MitID is Denmark’s national electronic identification scheme, used by 97.2% of residents over age 15 as of April 2026 and notified under eIDAS at substantial and high assurance levels, making it the primary identity-verification option for businesses serving Danish users. Private companies must access MitID through one of the certified brokers, while successful sign-ins return signed attributes such as name, date of birth, a pseudonymised identifier, and assurance level rather than document images. Danish anti-money-laundering rules recognize electronic identification as a reliable verification source, and financial regulators state that MitID can often serve as the sole verification source outside enhanced due diligence; online gambling requires substantial assurance or higher. Denmark is also developing AltID, a state app for identity and age proofs that is intended to become part of its European Digital Identity Wallet offering, with broader EU wallet acceptance obligations for certain regulated private companies beginning in December 2027. Businesses are advised to retain document-based verification with chip reading, liveness checks, and face matching for people without MitID, including children under 13, new arrivals, and foreign customers, while recording reasons for such fallbacks under emerging EU AML standards.
