Can foreigners get MitID without a Danish CPR number?

MitID for people without a CPR number.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, a Danish CPR number is not required to get MitID. You can get MitID from the age of 13 if you can prove your identity with the required identification, and your identity must be confirmed properly before MitID is issued. If you do not have a CPR number, you are advised to use a P code. If you need online or mobile banking and have no CPR number, you contact your bank.
