Digital Signature - MitID

MitID is your digital signature and is just as legally binding as your personal signature on a document.

You need your digital signature, as the Danish authorities are sending almost all mail to the citizens electronically, and to a great extent it requires that you use digital solutions when filling in forms to public authorities.

You also need your digital signature if you wish to use the electronic self-service options/netbank of the banks, just as a number of companies, i.a. insurance and pension companies give access to self-service solutions by means of your digital signature.
