# About MitID

MitID (opens new window) is a new electronic ID in Denmark, replacing NemID. It is a collaboration between the Danish banks and the Danish public sector. This alliance forms a nationwide solution and provides a secure authentication mechanism for all citizens in Denmark. People in Denmark can use MitID for online banking, Digital Post, communication with public authorities, identifying themselves in other digital services, and more.

Here is how the MitID login box will look for the end-users. Since it is a demo, any username and password will work:

# Time plan

There will be a transition period where you can use both NemID and MitID, although NemID will be phased out by the end of June 2022.

Signicat will continuously add content to this page reflecting the status of the integration.
