Support for static QR has ended
2025-05-05
Support for static QR codes with version 6 of our RP-API has now ended.
The change to animated QR codes is a part of our continuous security work and is something we've recommended for many years. To protect users and companies alike from being exposed to fraud, we've removed the possibility to use static QR codes with version 6 of our RP-API.
We've waited a long time to remove the support as we understand and respect that companies, authorities and other organisations may need time to update their systems and services.
Security always in focus
In our more and more troubled world, it's necessary that the entire society comes together to increase security and safety. To us, this means to keep introducing new and more secure solutions as well as removing older ones.
Use animated QR codes
Ensure that you use an animated QR code in all flows for BankID in your services. Your developer can help you with the changes.
Technical instructions for QR code
Older API versions to be closed
Older versions of the API, 5.0 and 5.1, will be closed fully going forward. Date for closing will be communicated later on.
Make your accessibility adjustments
This summer, new legislation come into force regarding accessibility in digital services. This will, among other things, affect the QR code for BankID in your services.
