Update your personal information in NemID

You can no longer use your CPR number as user ID. It strenghtens of the allround security that the user ID you select is unique and not something that can be identified through access to your CPR number. 

You should create a user ID, which is difficult for others to guess but still easy for you to remember. Don't ever share your user ID with any other person - that is apart from MitID support, if you contact them yourself. You can always change your user ID on MitID.dk.
