Fair enough, I get the limitation, which is precisely why I went to the bank, as the app, when creating a new BankID, was clear I couldn't do it myself without the Police-issued ones. I have no issue with it (other than it's a bit annoying). As long as I have a way to prove my identity in the presence of the bank clerk, I believe it should be enough.
@geobjork: I have a valid and working BankID on my older device (two even!). Now, I got a new device and wanted to use it as my primary driver, therefore I wanted to activate a new BankID on it -- and that's where I failed.
Another fun story: my wife had a similar problem a year ago or so. I was too eager to install a new custom ROM on her phone, so it resulted in a data wipe. Fine, I got it up and running, but she needed BankID too. The app complained about lacking Swedish documents, so she went to the bank. Coincidentally, her mother was with her. BankID refused to be generated for that device (on which, before I wiped the data, she had a working BankID), while it worked on a random older phone she had with her and on her mother's phone that they've used to test.
