Cómo funciona
Check requirements
You normally need a BSN and registered address before applying for DigiD. If either is missing, solve that first.
Apply and wait for the letter
DigiD activation depends on a physical activation letter. The guide explains timing, what to expect and what to check if it does not arrive.
Activate and secure access
Activate DigiD, set up the app where needed and prepare for government services like Belastingdienst and toeslagen.nl.
