Can you get MobilePay without MitID?

What you need to sign up.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

No, as of November 2026 an adult cannot create MobilePay without MitID. When you sign up, you enter your CPR number, a phone number that can receive an SMS code, and then confirm your identity with MitID. You also need MitID to add a card, and you enter a bank account number, a four-digit code and a verified email. Administrative CPR numbers are not supported.

Practical info

Why

  1. CPR number required, not an administrative one.
  2. MitID confirms your identity.
  3. MitID is also needed to add a card.

Details

Children under 15 do not sign up themselves: a parent creates the profile from their own MobilePay.

Tip

Have your MitID app ready and your card at hand before you start, so you can finish the setup in one go.

What may differ

The sign-up steps can change, for example when MobilePay changes its name to Vipps in January 2027.

Common misconception

A phone number is enough to start using MobilePay.

What actually happens

You also need a CPR number, MitID, a card and a bank account number.
