Why Organizations Look Beyond DigiD
DigiD works well for government services. But for private-sector organizations, it introduces constraints that don\'t align with modern data sovereignty requirements.
Data Sovereignty Concerns
DigiD routes authentication through Dutch government infrastructure. For organizations with strict data residency requirements, this creates compliance challenges.
Vendor Lock-In
DigiD uses proprietary BSN-derived identifiers with no open standard. Switching away requires significant engineering effort and user migration.
No Auditability
DigiD is closed-source. Organizations cannot inspect, verify, or customize the code handling their users' most sensitive identity operations.
Single-Nation Dependency
Routing all identity operations through one national government creates geopolitical risk for organizations operating across EU member states.
Important Note
ClickID is designed for private-sector services using DigiD by convention, not legal mandate. Government services and healthcare providers with specific regulatory requirements should continue using official DigiD. Always consult your legal team.
Everything You Need for Production Identity
Built for organizations that need DigiD-compatible authentication without the government dependency.
Drop-in DigiD Replacement
SAML 2.0 IdP with identical bindings and NameID formats. No code changes needed—just point your SP at ClickID.
Pseudonymous Sector-IDs
HMAC-SHA256 generated identifiers that are unique per user/SP pair. Zero cross-service correlation possible.
EU Data Residency
All authentication data stays within EU jurisdiction. GDPR-compliant by design with no data exfiltration.
Fully Open Source
EUPL-1.2 licensed. Audit every line of code, fork for customization, or self-host without vendor lock-in.
Substantial Assurance
Password + TOTP or passkey authentication matching DigiD Midden level. MFA required in production.
Sandbox Environment
Full test realm with demo users and relaxed policies. Validate your integration before going live.
Self-Service SP Portal

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I self-host ClickID?
Yes! ClickID is fully open source under EUPL-1.2. You can self-host for free using our Helm charts and Docker images. Enterprise support contracts are available for organizations that need SLA-backed assistance.
What happens if I exceed my authentication limit?
We never block authentication. Additional authentications are billed at €0.005 per auth (Cloud) or €0.003 per auth (Scale). We'll notify you when you approach your limit.
Is ClickID legally equivalent to DigiD?
No. ClickID is a technical replacement, not a legal one. Services legally required to use DigiD (government, certain healthcare) cannot use ClickID. It's designed for private-sector services using DigiD by convention.
