The DigiD app is the easiest way to log in securely to government organisations. You log in via your telephone, tablet or computer using a self-selected PIN. Depending on the type of device on which the app is installed, you may be able to log in using facial recognition or your fingerprint.

You can use the DigiD app to log in to many government organisations, including:
- the Tax Administration (Belastingdienst)
- the Social Insurance Bank (SVB)
- the Education Executive Agency (DUO)
- municipalities
- care institutions
- educational institutions
- pension funds.
