Core offering

The service is operated by itsme-ID Netherlands B.V. and distributed via a four-party model: Issuer banks, Acquirers, Digital Identity Service Providers (DISPs), and Acceptors/Merchants. iDIN is being transitioned to itsme following its December 2025 acquisition, with the mobile app successor operating at eIDAS High assurance level.

Product overview

iDIN is a Dutch digital identity service (launched 2016) that enables online identification, login, age verification, and signing through consumers' existing bank credentials. It operates via a four-party model: Issuers (consumer banks), Acquirers (merchant banks), DISPs (Digital Identity Service Providers), and Acceptors/Merchants. iDIN is currently transitioning to itsme, a Belgian mobile identity app acquired by itsme at the end of 2025, with full migration expected by 2028. The core product family consists of iDIN (current service at eIDAS Substantial level) and itsme (mobile app successor at eIDAS High level), each supporting four sub-products: Identification (full identity data), Login (authentication), Age Verification (18+ confirmation), and Signing (digital signatures incl.
