Get MitID again - with your passport/ID card

You need

1. Your user ID for MitID.
2. Your passport/international ID card. Check this list to see if your passport/ID card meets the requirements.
3. A phone that can scan the passport. Check if your phone is able to scan a passport
   
   If you do not have a phone that can scan your passport/ID card, could it be that you have a relative who has a phone that can? In this way, you can create your MitID and afterwards e.g. get the MitID app on your own phone. See how to do it
   
4. Possibly a P-code – which you need if you do not have a Danish CPR number. See here how to get a P-code You can use a P-code up to three times, so if you have received one before, you may be able to use it again.  

Scan your passport/ID card and face in the app 

• Download and open the MitID app.
• Press the menu in the top corner - press Activate and then Activate your MitID.
