Auðkenni App: The solution for phones that do not take SIM cards
18.11.2025
An increasing number of smartphones are being designed without a slot for a SIM card. This can cause uncertainty for those who rely on electronic ID's on a SIM card.
Auðkenni App is the solution – with the app, users can activate electronic ID's in a simple and secure way, regardless of whether their phone accepts a SIM card or not.
The app also offers self-service with an Icelandic passport, making the activation process both quick and convenient. Thus, users can activate electronic ID's in the Auðkenni app without having to visit a registration authority.
Those who do not have an Icelandic passport can go to registration authority with permitted personal ID to get their Auðkenni app activated.
