Digital power of attorney

Use Digital Fuldmagt self-service to create or receive a power of attorney

Most organisations can create or request a power of attorney in MitID Erhverv, enabling them to act digitally on behalf of others, such as submitting reports via self-services.

However, in certain circumstances, you must use the Digital Fuldmagt self-service system to create or request a power of attorney. This applies if:

• you use MitID Private for Business. Further details about MitID Private for Business can be found below.
• your organisation is not registered with MitID Erhverv.

Please note that MitID Private for Business users whose organisations have entered into a connection agreement with MitID Erhverv can create or request powers of attorney in both MitID Erhverv and Digital Fuldmagt self-service.

If you are unsure whether your organisation has entered into a connection agreement, you can verify this by initiating the process of establishing one. After logging in with your private MitID, you will be able to see whether your organisation already has an agreement. If your organisation does not appear in the list, you can use the search field to enter your company’s CVR (Central Business Register) number.
