Norway’s eID landscape is led by BankID, which Stø reports has 4.7 million users and is notified at the EU’s high assurance level, making BankID High the recommended option for businesses subject to Norwegian remote anti-money-laundering requirements. The text distinguishes BankID High from BankID’s biometric-only flow, classified as substantial rather than high, and identifies Buypass ID and Commfides eID as other high-level options, while MinID and the ID-porten gateway are largely restricted to public services and associated private providers. It describes a 2026 Nkom regulatory case concerning six former BankID issuers, noting that Stø was not covered by the notice and that no final decision had been published by 5 October 2026. Businesses are advised to maintain document-based verification, including chip reading, liveness, and face matching, for users without qualifying Norwegian eIDs, such as many foreign residents, minors, and visitors. The text also outlines prospective developments including Norway’s possible EUDI Wallet implementation, EU digital-wallet acceptance obligations, proposed social-media age verification, and BankID’s stated ambition to remove its bank-relationship requirement by spring 2029.
