Quick HELP

Do you need to update your Smart-ID?

Smart-ID accounts need to be renewed (and re-authenticated!) every 3 years. Just make sure you have updated your app software before and you have your preferred authentication method available.

  1. Guidelines for renewing your Smart-ID account
  2. Updating the app and phone software

Are you getting a new phone?

If you’re getting a new phone (or have reset your phone) and want to continue using Smart-ID, you need to register a new account. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be ready to go in no time:

  1. Download Smart-ID app
  2. Register a new account
  3. Delete your inactive accounts

What is Biometric registration?

Biometric identification suits you if you can’t use other electronic registration methods but you do have a passport or ID-card with an electronic chip and a mobile phone with NFC-support. This enables you to scan your documents at home to complete the authentication process.

  1. Requirements for biometric registration
  2. Getting ready: how to avoid mistakes
  3. Step-by-step instructions 
  4. Error codes and how to solve issues
  5. What to do if your document got locked

How to sign documents with Smart-ID?

There are several ways to sign document with Smart-ID. E-services you already use allow you to confirm transactions and sign agreements within the e-service itself. If you want to choose what and where to sign, you can use online signing services (like Adobe Sign, Lahdes and Dokobit), desktop software (DigiDoc4 and Dokobit add-in) or mobile apps (Dokobit or RIA DigiDoc).

Some awesome words from happy clients

Smart-ID app is easy to use and loved by our users, and offers a safe and secure identification and signing solution for e-service providers. 

  • We, Latvijas Mobilais Telefons, take care not only that our customers have a powerful phone and Internet, but also that future technologies make the life of our customers more comfortable today.
We are one of the first to introduce modern, affordable and secure service not only in person, but also online in cooperation with SK ID Solutions and LVRTC. In 2019, we jointly developed the LMT personal identification and signing platform, which makes it easier for every resident of Latvia to confirm their identity and sign documents with a qualified electronic signature.
More than half of our customers are happy to choose Smart-ID app as a friendly and intuitive solution in everyday cooperation with LMT. The widespread use of Smart-ID in other industries and its recognition is an important driver in the circulation of digital documents in the cooperation between LMT and customers. We are always looking forward to innovations in the Smart-ID solution, which we are happy to implement in the LMT personal identification and document signing processes. Thank you for the excellent cooperation, growing together and helping Latvia to grow!

    Description
  • As most of people use Smart-ID, probably more than eParaksts, it was decided to introduce Smart-ID, which, in addition to eParaksts, allows to identify the person who wants the pharmacy to process their e-prescriptions. Smart-ID, unlike the standardized OAuth type eSignature, uses a different type of identification mechanism, so its implementation requires additional resources, especially the requirement to register the IP address from which identification requests are made. SK is very responsive and competent, however, the use of service based on IP addresses could be changed. The introduction of Smart-ID gives the customer the opportunity to choose the most convenient way of identification (Smart-ID or eSignature), thus expanding the range of customers.

    Description
  • We have been using the Smart-ID solution offered by SK ID Solutions AS Latvian branch for more than a year. As soon as we started working on the creation of a digital form of the Neste fuel private card, it was clear that the safest, most convenient and suitable tool for customer authentication and signing of applications, as well as fuel card contracts, is Smart-ID. Currently, we use Smart-ID solution both to identify potential B2C Neste card customers and sign private card applications, to authenticate customers on our document signing portal, as well as to sign fuel card agreements. The Smart-ID solution has significantly improved neste's private card customer experience - the ability to remotely apply for a Neste card and digitally sign a fuel card agreement, as well as reduced the number of paper applications to be processed manually and contributed to the quality level of Neste customer data. Our recommendation to the Smart-ID team, based on neste's customer questions and feedback, to further emphasize and remind about the differences and advantages of the basic and full version of Smart-ID, to supplement the information on the website, how customers of other banks can apply for the solution and proactively inform the customer about moving and updating the Smart-ID version to the full version after the phone change.

    Description
  • We're extremely happy with SK's services and customer support. It's wonderfully convenient that SK provides a complete range of authentication and signing services all in one place! We utilize all of SK's services, including Smart-ID, Mobile-ID, Validity confirmation, Timestamping, and Organisation Certificates. The customer service is consistently speedy and friendly. We make use of these services both within our internal systems, such as Virosoft (our personnel information system), where employees can access salary information, and our document management system for signing, as well as in the financial system. We also use them in external systems like the patient portal at https://ipatsient.itk.ee/, where patients can schedule appointments and confirm their arrival. SK's services are secure and user-friendly at the same time. Keep up the exceptional work!
