About the Auðkenni App

All you need is an internet connection when you have electronic credentials in the Auðkennisappinu. You no longer need to rely on a phone connection to authenticate and sign on the web.

Download the Auðkenni App.

It is available in the App Store and Google Play. Once the app is on your phone, you can create electronic credentials in it, either through self-registration or at the nearest registration center.
