 What does logging in with proof of identity (driver's license or ID card) mean?

Logging in with proof of identity in the future provides access to personal data that is extra sensitive. To properly protect this data, organizations want even more assurance that the data is shared with the right person. Logging in with a driver's license or identity card using the DigiD app provides that extra security, ensuring maximum protection of someone's data. While it will be possible to log in with a driver's license as of July 1, there is not yet a service that requires logging in at this level.

• A recent passport photo that meets the requirements for a passport photo. The photo must not be older than 6 months.
• when renewing driving license: your current driving license
• for expired driver's license: a valid passport or ID card and the expired driver's license
• application for first driving license: a valid passport or id proof

You pay when you apply for the driver's license, preferably by PIN.
