What to do, if...
On this page you will find step-by-step instructions for downloading and setting up the ID software (including the DigiDoc4) and web browser software, as well as many other helpful tips.
If your PIN code is blocked, you can conveniently unlock it again with the DigiDoc4 application. For this you need your PUK code.
If you have forgotten your ID-card, digital-ID or other digital document PIN and PUK codes, you can order a new code envelope from the Police and Border Guard Board.
Did you discover that your ID-card is lost or stolen? First, consider whether you have used it recently and left it in a slightly different place than usual, for example, on the desk? How you proceed depends on how sure you are of the theft of the card.
The free Smart-ID app enables you to log in to e-services, confirm transactions and bank transfers and sign documents: its possibilities are almost as vast a those of ID-cards, digital IDs or mobile-IDs.
Useful digital knowledge
Did you know that you can sign documents on your phone with an ID card without a card reader, i.e. using NFC? All you need is the RIA DigiDoc mobile app and an ID card.
