Check-ID for DigiD

The CheckID app, developed by DigiD, allows users to perform a one-off check of an identity document for someone else. This is done by reading the chip on the Dutch driver's license or identity document using the NFC reader on the user's device. The app reads important information such as the document number, validity, and date of birth, or the driving license number. This data is then securely sent to the DigiD app for verification. It is important to note that the CheckID app does not process any data from the user's device for this check.

It is the user's responsibility to ensure the security of their mobile device while using the CheckID app. Regular updates for the app can be downloaded and installed automatically through the app store. These updates are meant to improve, expand, or further develop the app and may include fixes for program errors, new features, or even completely new versions. Without these updates, the app may not function properly.

Logius, the developer of DigiD, reserves the right to temporarily stop offering the CheckID app in the app store or to temporarily stop the app's operation without providing a reason. This is done to ensure the app's security and functionality. It is important for users to keep their app updated to avoid any potential disruptions in its operation.

In summary, the CheckID app is a secure and convenient way to perform identity document checks for others. It utilizes the NFC reader on the user's device to read important information from the document's chip and securely sends it to the DigiD app for verification. Users are responsible for the security of their device and should regularly update the app to ensure its proper functioning. Logius may temporarily stop offering the app or its operation for security purposes.
