Well, here in Denmark you can get a NemKey device. But that’s only given to old people in care homes.
Negative, you can get a device if you want to. Even if you already have an active MitID app.
In other words, here in Denmark the expectation is that you have a smartphone. Loads of services are now smartphone dependent, like taking public transport (tickets and check-in cards are slowly being phased out).
Again here you can use an NFC card, but the company behind the common app system really rather you didn’t. So much so that they’ve occasionally taken out half the card readers on the platforms, by putting an advert for the app on them.
Please don’t be like Denmark. This sucks. Rooting your phone, to get rid of privacy invading bloatware, makes your phone insecure, and you can’t use it for money transfers or ID verification.
I’m trying not to go off on a rant here, but please don’t be like Denmark.

Tried getting one in Bispebjerg Kommun and they refused me. I had a smartphone. I told them that a security update bricked my phone’s security. I was told to simply buy a new phone.

Last year lived with an Indian roommate who worked for DSB. Their big push for 2030 is to automate everything through smartphone tracking with the DSB app and facial recognition on train cameras. Their idea is that you won’t need to manually check in or out anymore.
They’ve already made several deals with Microsoft and Amazon for AI datacentre use, and the removal of card readers and the automated check-out option you can turn on in the DSB app are the first steps.

First off, that’s just wrong of them. I don’t know, but I think you could file a complaint with indenrigsministeriet, and if they tell you to take a hike then Folketingets Ombudsmand.

But more importantly, you can circumvent the local yahoos and order it online instead. https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/get-started-with-mitid/how-to-use-mitid/mitid-code-display/#order you will need a valid passport though.
Yeah, I figured it was probably just rude bullshit. But I didn’t know where to take it from there. But good to know.
