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.

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:

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.

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).
