Do I need a DigiD to buy a house and arrange a mortgage?

Yes, a DigiD is usually needed to log in to the tax authorities (Belastingdienst), sign documents digitally and handle official housing and mortgage matters. You apply for a DigiD once you have a BSN, so registration in the Netherlands comes first. It is also used for your tax return, health insurance and many government services.
