What is the ID check in the DigiD app?
The ID check allows you to do more with your DigiD app. For example, viewing and updating extra sensitive personal data, including information about your health. The ID check is a one-time activity carried out by using your phone to scan your Dutch passport, ID card or driving licence.
Where can I log in using the ID check?
If you add the ID check in the DigiD app, you can log in to any organisation that lets you log in using DigiD. Even if you live abroad.
How do I carry out the ID check?
How to carry out the ID check from abroad depends on your situation. Select the situation that applies to you to find out what you have to do.
If you don’t yet use the DigiD app, you can download it and then activate it using the ID check.

Privacy
