Frequently Asked Questions

Can you support the CPR (Danish ID Number) flow through MitID?

Yes, Trinsic can configure MitID to support receiving the user’s CPR number. MitID exposes this as a matching flow which adds an additional screen after a user successfully authenticates. The screen prompts the user to enter their CPR number and grant consent.

Can you request LoA High verification from MitID?

Yes, Trinsic can configure MitID to only allow a user with a LoA High credential to be able to complete the flow.

Can we collect the user ID outside of the MitID interface?

It is mandated by the MitID scheme UX requirements that the user ID be collected in the MitID UI.
