Business powers of attorney

If your organisation receives support from an accountant, solicitor, or external management company, you must create business powers of attorney to enable them to act digitally on your behalf.

With business powers of attorney in MitID Erhverv, you can create a power of attorney to another organisation (i.e. an entity with another Central Business Register number (CVR number)) that grants them the right or access to declare digitally on behalf of your organisation. This is relevant when, for example, you receive assistance from:

  • an accountant
  • a lawyer
  • a management company.

The assistance your organisation may receive could include:

  • applying for reimbursements
  • declaring taxes and duties
  • reporting statistics.

An organisation administrator can create powers of attorney, referred to as delegations in MitID Erhverv. Your organisation can choose from the 2 options below:

  • Business power of attorney (delegation) for the organisation.
  • Business power of attorney (delegation) at the individual level, which must be created to a specific person within the organisation.

When you create a business power of attorney (delegation) for an organisation, the recipient organisation is responsible for deciding who within their organisation will act digitally on behalf of your organisation.

It is also possible for your recipient organisation to request a business power of attorney (delegation) from your organisation in MitID Erhverv.
