The DigiD app for iOS has been given a handy feature. From now on it is possible to perform ID check with the app, using the nfc chip in your iPhone.
DigiD app gets ID check
You can confirm your identity with various organizations via DigiD. A DigiD app for iOS has been available for some time now, which makes it possible to log in without the need for a password. This app has now received an update, so that you can also have your ID checked via your iPhone. Previously, this was only possible on Android phones.
If you install the latest version (5.12.2) of the DigiD app, you can scan your passport, identity card or driving license (issued after November 14, 2014). The NFC chip in your iPhone is used for this, which also ensures that you can pay with your iPhone via Apple Pay. If you have performed the ID check, the DigiD app is suitable for viewing a medical file, for example.
Doing the ID check is very simple. You open the app and log in with your DigiD, after which you have to hold your passport, identity card or driving license against the back of your iPhone. The data is then scanned and checked at the National Service for Identity Data (RivG). The ID check only works on an iPhone 7 or newer and your device must be running iOS 13 or higher.
