The citizen service number (BSN) is a unique personal number for everyone who is registered in the population register of the public entity of Bonaire, St. Eustatius or Saba. Everyone who registers automatically receives a BSN.
Unique personal number
The citizen service number, often abbreviated to BSN, is a unique, personal 9-digit number linked to your personal details. You will now receive a BSN so that you can safely conduct business with the government online in the future. With a BSN, you can apply for the DigiD login tool. This allows you to log in to websites of government agencies and organisations that are affiliated with DigiD. In the future, this will become increasingly common among organisations in the Caribbean Netherlands.
Use of BSN
The government uses the BSN when processing your personal data. Because it is a unique and personal number, the government can quickly and easily look up and register your data
Keep your BSN safe
The BSN is your personal number that no one else has. Therefore, keep your BSN safe and do not share it with others.
