Find out moreWe’re excited to introduce a new feature that makes using Smart-ID even safer and more user-friendly! You can now log in with Smart-ID by scanning the QR code shown on your computer.
Smart-ID accounts need to be renewed (and re-authenticated!) every 3 years. Just make sure you have updated your app software before and you have your preferred authentication method available.
If you’re getting a new phone (or have reset your phone) and want to continue using Smart-ID, you need to register a new account. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be ready to go in no time:
Biometric identification suits you if you can’t use other electronic registration methods but you do have a passport or ID-card with an electronic chip and a mobile phone with NFC-support. This enables you to scan your documents at home to complete the authentication process.
There are several ways to sign document with Smart-ID. E-services you already use allow you to confirm transactions and sign agreements within the e-service itself. If you want to choose what and where to sign, you can use online signing services (like Adobe Sign, Lahdes and Dokobit), desktop software (DigiDoc4 and Dokobit add-in) or mobile apps (Dokobit or RIA DigiDoc).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQQ) | Question | Answer | |----------|--------| | Is there a “free PDF” legally available? | Only if the author or a library provides it under a controlled digital lending scheme. Otherwise, any free download from a random site is likely illegal. | | Can I use a scanned copy from a friend? | Under U.S. copyright law, a single‑copy personal use is permissible, but distribution (uploading/sharing) is not. | | My library doesn’t have the book – can I request it? | Yes. Use WorldCat to find the nearest holding library and ask your local library to request it via ILL. | | I need the PDF for a class presentation – can I request a “fair‑use” copy? | Fair use can apply for brief excerpts (e.g., < 300 words). Still, request a licensed copy first; then you may quote under fair‑use guidelines. | | What if the PDF is in a different language? | Some versions exist in Spanish (“29 Bajo”) and Italian . Look for those titles if you need a translation. | | Is there an audiobook version? | No official audiobook, but the author has done podcast interviews where he reads sections. Search “Jeffrey Rignall podcast 29 Below”. | | Can I print the PDF for personal study? | Most e‑book licences allow printing up to 10 pages ; check the PDF’s DRM restrictions. | | I’m a journalist – can I get a press copy? | Contact the author via the website’s media‑inquiry form; many independent authors will send a press‑ready PDF . | 8.
