Set up DigiD — your key to Dutch online life
Once your BSN is active, apply for DigiD at digid.nl. It's the login you'll use for the tax office, allowances, your municipality, healthcare portals and more. Think of it as your single digital identity for official Dutch life.
How it works
- Request a DigiD with your BSN; an activation code is sent by post to your registered address.
- Activate it, then add the DigiD app for quick, secure logins.
- Turn on SMS or app verification for extra security.
Tip: Apply right after you get your BSN — the postal code takes a few days, and you'll want DigiD ready for insurance and allowances.
