Click or tap ‘Continue’ to go to the next part of the explanation.

Login methods

You can log in with:

  • the DigiD app
  • your DigiD with SMS verification
  • a valid EU Login

If a representative arranges your affairs online, or you arrange someone else’s affairs online, the most secure way to do this is with DigiD Machtigen (DigiD Authorisation).

Logging in with the DigiD app

The easiest way to log in securely is by using the DigiD app. You will no longer need to remember a password—only a PIN that you can choose yourself.

Logging in with a valid EU Login

Many European countries have their own login . The European Union (EU ) assesses whether a login is secure. If it is secure, you can use it to log in to My SVB. 

When you log in to My SVB the first time, you will also need your Burgerservicenummer (BSN ). You will not need it for subsequent logins.

DigiD Machtigen (DigiD Authorisation)

DigiD Authorisation allows a representative to log in with their own DigiD to arrange affairs for someone else. 

You should never share your DigiD with anyone. This way, your data will always be secure, and you can access it at any time.

With DigiD and SMS verification

You can also log in securely in 2 steps with your DigiD and SMS verification: 

  1. Your DigiD username and password
  2. The SMS code you receive immediately on your mobile phone or landline. You can choose between a text message and a voice message 

More help with applying for a DigiD

If you need help with your DigiD, or with applying for a DigiD, you will find a selection of videos on the DigiD website. The website also explains a number of other ways to get help with your DigiD or with applying for a DigiD.

If you have a Burgerservicenummer (BSN)

Make sure you have your BSN to hand before you log in. BSNs are usually also stated on Dutch passports, ID cards and driving licences and on annual statements  from the Netherlands. 

If you cannot find your BSN, you can apply to a Dutch municipality that has an RNI service desk for an extract showing your BSN. The fees may vary from one service desk to another.

How to get a BSN

If you are receiving an AOW pension, you will already have a Burgerservicenummer (BSN). If you have submitted a claim for an AOW pension, we will ensure that you get a BSN. 

If you are not receiving an AOW pension and you have not submitted a claim, you can apply for a BSN yourself.

You do not know whether you have a BSN

If you do not know whether you have a BSN, it is easy to find out.

For us to explain to you how to get a Burgerservicenummer (BSN), we need to know whether you have lived in the Netherlands before.

Applying for a BSN if you live outside the Netherlands

If you have lived in the Netherlands before, it is usually easy to get a Burgerservicenummer (BSN). However, this depends on the date you left. On 1 October 1994, a change was made to BSNs. 

If you have never lived in the Netherlands, you can still get a BSN.

If you left the Netherlands before 1 October 1994

You will be given a Burgerservicenummer (BSN) if you have yourself entered in the Register of Non-Residents (RNI ). This is how to register:

  1. Make an appointment with a Dutch municipality that has an RNI service desk and
  2. remember to take your valid passport or ID card to your appointment.
  3. Once you have been entered in the RNI, you will be given a BSN

If you left the Netherlands on or after 1 October 1994

If you left the Netherlands on or after 1 October 1994, you will be entered in the Register of Non-Residents (RNI). You may find your BSN in old letters or documents. 

If you cannot find your BSN, you can apply to a Dutch municipality that has an RNI service desk for an extract showing your BSN. The fees may vary from one service desk to another.
