Every resident of the Netherlands has a citizen service number (BSN), which is a unique number for you alone. The government can use this number to keep in touch with you about, for example, tax or benefits. Your BSN number is also stated on your ID and driving licence. With your BSN number you can create a DigiD account and MyGovernment account online. What is a DigiD account? And what do you use MyGovernment for?
