DigiD
Why DigiD?
When you visit government institutions, in many cases you will have to identify yourself with your identity card, passport or driver's license. On the Internet, you do this by logging in with your DigiD. This way, government agencies know that they are actually dealing with you.
Your personal DigiD (a username and password) allows you to identify yourself on government websites and those of organizations that perform a government task.
User name and password
Your DigiD consists of a username and a password, both of which you compose yourself. Make sure your username and password are easy for you to remember.
Additional text message verification
Do you have a cell phone? Then you can apply for your DigiD with SMS function. You can then also log in to websites that require additional verification via a code, which you will receive by text message.
If you already have a DigiD, you can request the SMS function through My DigiD.
How does DigiD work?
Suppose you want to request an extract from the municipal personal records database on your municipality's website. You will then be automatically redirected from the municipality's site to the DigiD login page. There you will enter your DigiD username and password. You will then automatically return to the municipality's site, where you can request the extract.
Request
Apply for your DigiD now! Make sure you choose a username and password that others cannot guess. This prevents misuse of your DigiD. For more information and tips on choosing a secure password, see the security page.
Period of validity
Your DigiD expires if you do not use it for 3 years. This is for security reasons. If you have provided your e-mail address, you will receive a warning 30 days before your DigiD expires. Using your DigiD once will make it valid again for 3 years.
