Continuing the use of mobile-ID after a status change of certificates
If you had your mobile-ID certificates suspended at your own request (e.g. mobile phone was lost, but you found it again), it is possible to continue using the existing mobile-ID SIM card. To reactivate the certificates, you must visit your mobile operator’s service point with your identity document.
If your phone remained missing and you ordered a new mobile-ID SIM card, you must cancel the old mobile-ID certificates before you can activate the new mobile-ID service.
