How to update eID software?

Last updated: December 09, 2020

The latest version of the eID software is always available on their website.

Windows

If your eID software does not offer an automatic update, then:

  • Run ID-card utility and click on ’Settings', then 'Check for updates and close utility’

  • If there is a new version available you can follow the onscreen instructions.

Mac OS X

  • If you have DigiDoc4 client (includes DigiDoc4 crypto) and ID-card utility installed then Apple's AppStore will keep your software up to date 

  • If you're using your eID card with browsers in order to enter and/or sign digitally in
    e-services then you'll also have to keep the web components up to date

  • If there's a new version available, the software will notify you, but from time to time you should check for updates manually as well

  • In order to do that: type "id-updater" into Spotlight search (top right corner) and press Enter, wait until ID-updater launches and if you see the button 'Download update' at the bottom left corner becoming active, click it and follow onscreen instructions

You can also check the ID.ee website for more details.
