Available eID methods
To log in to EKN Online and use EKN’s services, you require electronic identification. An eID is proof of identity that you can use online. An eID is similar to a normal physical ID such as your driver’s license. There are several ways to identify yourself.
Keep in mind
- You should not log in using your eID when prompted by someone you do not know and trust.
- It is a punishable offence to use someone else’s eID or to let someone else use your eID.
Mobile BankID
Mobile BankID is an eID for mobile phones and tablets.
In order to use Mobile BankID:
