OIDC4IA ID Token#

The ID token returned by DIP follows the OIDC4IA (OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance) specification. It contains verified identity claims with evidence of how the identity was verified.

Token Format#

The ID token is returned as an encrypted JWT (JWE) containing a signed JWT.

Layer	Format	Algorithm
Outer	JWE	`RSA-OAEP-256` with `A256GCM`
Inner	Signed JWT	`ES256`

Conditional Claims#

Claims are only included if:

1
Requested in PAR
The claim was included in the claims request (all claims must have essential: true — essential: false is rejected at PAR time)
2
Available from source
The ID Check service provided the data
3
Consent given
User consent was provided (if required)

If a requested claim is not available, it will be omitted from the response.

Trust Framework Requirements#

`stoe` (Standard)#

All available claims are included
Issuer check may be any value

`stoe_etsi` (ETSI)#

Stricter validation requirements
given_name and family_name must be requested as claims
Issuer check must be valid
If issuer check fails, an error is returned
Important: Since issuer check is only available for Norwegian documents, the stoe_etsi trust framework can only be used with Norwegian passports and ID cards

Token Validation#

Required Validations#

1
Decrypt the JWE using your private key
2
Verify the JWT signature using DIP's public key from /jwks
3
Validate standard claims

Claim	Validation
`iss`	Must match DIP issuer URL
`aud`	Must match your `client_id`
`exp`	Must not be expired
`iat`	Must not be in the future
`nonce`	Must match your PAR request nonce

Optional Validations#

Claim	Validation
`acr`	Should be `urn:bankid:idcheck`
`amr`	Should contain expected methods
`auth_time`	Should be within acceptable timeframe
`jti`	Track previously seen values to detect replay of the same token

Data Validation#

The checks above cover token integrity. In addition, you should validate that the identity data itself is acceptable for your use case and compliance requirements.

DIP applies filtering during the verification process to reject documents early and provide useful feedback to end users, but these checks may not cover all of your specific requirements. Examples of additional validations to consider:

Check	Description
Issuer country	Verify that the document's `issuer.country_code` is from a country you accept
Document type	Verify that the `document_details.type` is acceptable for your use case
Document expiry	Apply your own policy for how close to expiry you accept documents
Check results	Evaluate `check_details` results against your risk tolerance
Identity claims	Validate that the returned claims meet your business and compliance needs

As the Relying Party, you are responsible for your own compliance with applicable legislation, including verifying that the data you receive is sufficient for your purposes.
