Collecting a DigiD activation code in Australia
If you have applied for DigiD from outside the Netherlands, you will be sent a service desk code. Use this code to collect your activation code from the consulate-general in Sydney. You need the activation code to activate your DigiD.
Making an appointment
To collect your DigiD activation code, make an appointment at the Dutch consulate-general in Sydney. To do so, please send an e-mail with your name to syd-ca@minbuza.nl. You can collect your DigiD activation code on working days (Monday to Friday) between 9.00 and 12.00 hours. Your service desk code will be valid for 30 days only.
Things to bring with you
- Your service desk code, sent to you by text message (SMS) and by email when you submitted your DigiD application
- Your passport or identity card (driving license not allowed) issued by a country within the European Economic Area (EEA) and which you used when filling in your application
- Your citizen service number (BSN), if it is not included in your passport or on your identity card
After you have collected the activation code
Once you have the activation code you can activate your DigiD. Tip: activate your DigiD as soon as you have the code, before you leave the building. A member of staff may be able to help you if it doesn’t work.
