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

What is Biometric registration?

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).
