2. ID card

2.1 About ID card in the BankID app

ID card verfies your identification in the BankID app and confirms to the merchant that you are who you claim to be. You can use the ID card in physical situations at merchants that have entered into an agreement with BankID BankAxept AS for the ID card solution.

You must activate your BankID app to get access to ID card. You can then activate the ID card using a Norwegian passport or national identity card. A phone with iOS version 15 or higher for Apple or version 7 or higher on Android devices. Your phone must also be NFC (Near Field Communications) ready.

2.2 Display of your information to merchants

To use the ID card, open the BankID app and then ID card. Using your phone's facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, or PIN, a QR code is generated that can be scanned by the merchant point of use/sale. Your QR code is time-limited and can only be scanned once. After scanning or expired time, you need to create new QR code.

When the merchant scans your QR code, information about you will be displayed on the merchant's terminal. The merchant cannot store the data and has only access to view the information when it is required to confirm your name and/or age. Data that the merchant may request is your name, age, date of birth, and photo. At some merchants, your national identity number/D-number may also be displayed if the merchant has the legal basis (e.g. pharmacy).

In the BankID app's transaction history, you can see which data you displayed to the merchant.

3. Liability

The ID card is strictly personal and should only be used by you. You are obliged to protect access to your phone.

You are responsible for your own use of ID card. You must notify us immediately if you discover that the phone to which your ID card is connected has been lost, stolen or you suspect that someone else is misusing your ID card.

BankID BankAxept AS cannot be held responsible for losses as a result of ID card not being able to be used, whether this is due to technical errors, that the ID card is blocked or other circumstances.

BankID BankAxept AS also disclaims liability for any losses you as a customer may incur if you use your ID card in violation of the terms of this agreement.

Should an extraordinary situation arise beyond the control of the parties that makes it impossible for one or both parties to fulfil one or more obligations under this agreement, the obligations concerned will be suspended for the period of the extraordinary situation.
