Simple change prevents identity theft 

Identity theft is a growing problem, and in many cases this is related to change-of-address notices. Norway Post had to change their change-of-address procedures. 

Identity thieves could easily change the address of people they did not know, and that way, they could access private information, bills and identification number. This became a big problem for Norway Post, and they had to find a solution that was simple, but still safe, so their customers could be protected from identity theft.

Every year, more than 700,000 people report temporary or permanent address changes to Norway Post. This is a key service, and it is important to make sure it is both safe and easy to use. The solution was SignicatID. In order to complete a change-of-address notice, people must identify themselves using BankID, Buypass or PIN-codes used with MinID.
