It is a key element in Denmark’s digital infrastructure, but it is getting old and outdated. Therefore the Danish Agency for Digitisation (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen) has initiated a project to replace it with MitID, which will be more flexible and secure. MitID will be in production in mid 2021, and NemID will be phased out in the beginning of 2022.
The service providers have to use a digital identity broker. Broker services will be offered in a competitive market, meaning that any company currently using NemID to onboard customers or authenticate users will be able to purchase digital identity services from a vendor of their choice. The digital identity brokers will need to go through a certification by the Danish Agency for Digitisation, and this process is expected to begin during Q4 in 2019.
The broker role is so to speak part of Signicat’s DNA, and Signicat will become qualified as a broker in Denmark as soon as this is possible. Signicat already helps a large number of Danish companies with their identity verification, authentication and electronic signing needs. To the broker role we will in addition to MitID bring our robust identity platform, which is enabled by our integration of 25 different eID solutions from more than 10 European countries, and our versatile signing service.
MitID will be in production in mid 2021, and NemID will be phased out in the beginning of 2022.
Signicat has a long track record serving as a digital identity broker, and we are pre-qualified as MitID broker.
