New rules dictate that banks don’t issue BankID for temporary D-numbers. This makes live very very hard for non-natives. Not because you can not open an bank account, but because more and more public services, like putting a car in your name, or getting electricity require you to login with BankID. The government should step in and upgrade MinID to level 4 and enforce companies to offer MinID access as an option. Also I am very curious how big the disaster will be if a bank goes belly up, now the first bankaccount you open will be the holder of your BankID… so if a bank falls, alot of people won’t be able to get medication and access other public if tbey had their BankID there. In Sweden there is a petition going to force a government issued eID. I hope Norway follows…

so the id number which is used fir authorization via BankID is the norwegian SSN. And then the one time codes works as a password, right?

Hi! Is it possible to have multiple electronic IDs at the same time for example having both miniID and Commfides in order to access your personal online services?

Actually 4 digits and “kodebrikke” is not BankID.
BankID uses “kodebrikke” and 6 digits.

Kodebrikke and 4 digits cannot be used anymore with Skatteetaten. The only alternative without BankID is MinID which uses codes from paper that they send to you by post.

I know because I just went through the motion of getting BankID with DnB. You need to have a norwegian mobil number available to send setup codes, but after you don’t need it.

In reply to Mildrid Torvik Wolter. Hi, I don't really understand the question as it seems you are already using BankID to log in to your bank. The "national ID number" referred to in this article is the fødselsnummer.

Do you know how to get into NAV without a national ID (unless that is the “person nummer”). I use personnummer + personal code (four digits) and kodebrikke to get into my bank accounts. I live in USA and have an American mobile phone.
Thank you.
