DigiD
Help requesting, activating and using your DigiD.
DigiD is your personal login for many Dutch government services — the tax office, your municipality, healthcare and allowances.
Whether you can request a DigiD depends on your situation, for example whether you are registered in the Dutch BRP and have a BSN. Some people may need a different procedure. We check what applies to you.
We help you request it, activate the letter with the activation code, install the DigiD app and use it safely. Your login details always stay yours — we never keep them.
What this service includes
- A check of whether you can request DigiD in your situation
- Requesting DigiD on the official website with you
- Activating the code from the letter you receive by post
- Installing and setting up the DigiD app on your phone
