Activating the DigiD app
You must first download the DigiD app to your phone or tablet before you can activate it.
Then open the DigiD app and follow the steps on the screen. The DigiD app automatically shows the ways you can activate it. Depending on your situation, you can do so using the ID check and/or a code sent by text message.
If you want to activate the DigiD app using the ID check you will need a Dutch identity document that meets certain requirements and a phone or tablet with an NFC reader.
