DigiD overview 
DigiD is a electronic identification method that allows access to a vast amount of services and government websites in the Netherlands. DigiD is connected to the user's BSN (Dutch social security number) and is used for most online administration, such as taxes, applying for allowances or benefits, or checking pension information.
The DigiD scheme is managed by Logius, the digital government service of the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK).
