Digital ID for minors

Minors, individuals under the age of 18, can obtain digital ID if one guardian signs the application.

Three ways to sign up are available:

A) Self-registration in the Auðkenni App is available for 13-17 year-olds with the consent and signature of a guardian.

B) The guardian must sign digitally before the minor appears at the registration authority.

C) The guardian and the minor must appear together at the registration authority and sign the application.

Please note! Both parties must present allowed personal ID at the registration station.

This is the process when option A is chosen:

1. A minor aged 13-17 downloads the Identity App and selects registration with biometrics.

2. Click the button 13-17 years old.

3. Go through the self-registration process with biometrics and passport, and choose a PIN number.

4. Sending a link to the data provider regarding the signature.

5. Then the guardian has 60 minutes to sign the application digitally.

7. If authentication is approved, the document is republished and the applicant is invited to sign.

8. Once the signing is complete, a message will appear stating that the minor now has 30 days to go to the nearest registration center to obtain digital ID.
