What do you need to be able to use the ID card in the BankID app?

To use the ID card in the BankID app, you need to have activated the BankID app with a valid BankID. Anyone who has it can activate the service by scanning a Norwegian passport or national ID card.

Your phone must support NFC (Near Field Communications) to scan a passport or national ID card. Most newer smartphones support this feature. If the phone works with services like Apple Pay or Google Pay, it will also be able to scan passports.

Apple users must have iOS 15 or higher, and Android users must have Android 7 or higher.
