Self-registration
The self-registration is both simple and convenient, but to do so you need to:
Download the Auðkenni App in App Store or Google Play.
Have a valid Icelandic passport.
Make use of a phone or smart device with NFC support.
Must be at least 13 years old. Those under 18 require a guardian's signature.
This is how the technology in the self-service works:
When you activate electronic credentials in the Auðkenni App using self-service, facial recognition is used. The camera in your phone scans your face and thus your biometric data, which are then compared to your passport.
Watch the video to learn how to create digital ID in the Auðkenni App.
This is how the self-registration works for 13-17 year olds
First, you need to click the button Registration with biometrics
One must click the button 13-17 years old
Then you go through the self-registration process and choose a PIN number
Once that is done, a link must be sent to the custodian for signature.
The guardian has 15 minutes to sign the application electronically.
Once the signing is complete, the minor can finish issuing credentials on their smart device.
If self-registration does not suit you, you can go to a registration authority and get digital ID issued in the Auðkenni App.
