Create account using your home academic institution

Raising the level of assurance with eduID account

In the next step, by reviewing your information, click to the "Verify your identity" tab so you can verify your account.

To connect your identity to your eduID there are 3 options to increase the assurance level of authentication.

1. Swedish Personal ID number - if you are a Swedish citizen you can utilize this option by your digital ID card or post or your phone number.
2. EU citizen - if you are a citizen of one of the eIDAS countries you can use your electronic identification.
3. All other countries - for the rest of the countries' citizens it is a valid option to make use of. It is based on SvipeID, which is an application allowing for digital identity verification based on data read from the electronic system of a passport / ID card and verification of the user's face. You can easily follow the onscreen instructions to complete the verification process. Please click on this link to get started with Svipe ID.
