Please note that NemID Employee will be phased out on October 31, 2023

All businesses, authorities, and associations using NemID for businesses must switch to MitID for businesses before the closure of NemID for businesses. To ensure a smooth and secure transition for critical and complex solutions and organizations such as municipalities and regions, the closure of NemID for businesses will not happen fully on June 30, 2023, as planned. Instead, there will be limited operation and a gradual winding down until October 31, 2023.

What is NemID Employee?

NemID Employee is currently Denmark's digital ID solution for business people. The Digitalization Agency is currently phasing out NemID with a new electronic eID solution. NemID will be phased out as the Danish signing and identification solution during 2023-2024 when MitID Employee (business) will replace NemID Employee. Of course, Addo Sign will support the new eID.

In terms of digital signatures, NemID Employee is an AeS (Advanced Electronic Signature) according to the eIDAS regulation (you can read more about eIDAS here). MitID Employee (business) will be specifically developed to, in the future, become a QeS (Qualified Electronic Signature), which is the highest level of authorization and security according to the eIDAS regulation.

A signature with AeS is just as legally binding as a physical signature. An AeS signature contains information about the signer that can be used in court to prove the validity of the signature. However, personal data is not visible to the person who needs to sign the document, and information is "locked" in the signed document.

When using NemID Employee, you can be sure that the people you send to, if they have NemID Employee and are authorized to sign, will be able to use the solution. Furthermore, you can be sure that it is the right person who has accessed and signed the document, as you will always be able to see who has accessed the document and only people who are authorized to sign for the specific CVR number.

This login method is most commonly used by medium-sized and large companies, as well as accounting firms, law firms, etc."

Log in with key card

The "NemID log in" method "Log in with key card" can also be selected. In this log in method, the personal CPR number is used, which will be linked to the company. This flow is identical to the normal procedure with private NemID, where the key card is used both in the App and physical form. This method is most commonly used by smaller companies, sole proprietorships, holding companies, etc.

Login as a company

The last method is the "Login as a company" method. Here, you need to validate your CPR number, and you will be informed if you are authorized to sign on behalf of the company through your CPR number. This method is often used by sole proprietorships, partnerships, etc.

After the document has been signed, the desired recipients will receive a signed document that contains the unique NemID Medarbejder stamp. The way you can differentiate from NemID Medarbejder and NemID Privat is that NemID Medarbejder generates a RID number and NemID Privat generates a PID number. Each signer adds an extra stamp.
