Personal identification with ID-card, mobile-ID and Smart-ID

Electronic identification has several advantages over regular solutions that use usernames and passwords.

  • User data are correct and truthful: the information comes from user data file and is not entered manually by the user. Therefore, there is no risk of the user accidentally or deliberately presenting false data.
  • There is no need to register beforehand: the existing client base and new clients can authenticate themselves without having to create a user account.
  • Trustworthiness: nowadays, adding ID-card, mobile-ID and Smart-ID support to e-services is a sign of the service provider’s trustworthiness and functions as a quality marking for standard users.

There are various ways to implement ID-card, mobile-ID and Smart-ID identification in your own e-service. In order to find the most suitable solution for you, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with all the options below.
