Granting a mandate on paper
Foreign procure holders, who do not have Icelandic electronic ID, can register an individual in Iceland to handle matters on behalf of their business. With this mandate, that individual can, for example, have access to information and perform various actions on behalf of the foreign executive.
This can be useful for foreign executives of companies who need to handle various matters in Iceland but cannot use electronic ID. This mandate grants access to all data of the legal entity at institutions that use the Ísland.is Authorisation system, including data in the Digital mailbox on My Pages and various information related to assets and finances. The mandate also includes authorisation to submit applications on behalf of the legal entity at those institutions that use the Authorisation system.
Only foreign executives can grant mandates to other individuals on paper; applications from Icelandic executives with domicile in Iceland are not accepted.
Foreign executives need to submit a copy of their passport with the application.
This mandate only provides access to digital services of public entities that have connected to the Ísland.is Authorisation system, but not to other services or systems. An overview of entities that have connected to the system can be found under the Access Control button on My Pages.
You apply in a few simple steps:

District Commissioners provide further information about this service.
