CREATE AN ACCOUNT IN STUDIELINK WITHOUT DIGID
If you want to apply for a programme at UT, you need to have a Studielink account. Studielink is the national hub for enrolment in higher education. If you have an official home address in the Netherlands, you must create an account in Studielink by logging in with your DigiD. If you do not have a DigiD and can't apply for one, you can read below what steps you need to take.
Your personal details have to be verified If you do not have a DigiD, your identity will need to be verified in another way in order to create an account in Studielink. To this end, your passport or European identity card will be verified. To do so, you have to upload a scan or photo of your passport or European identity card in Studielink. This can either be your current valid passport or European identity card, but it can also be an expired one. Eventually, you will need a valid passport or European identity card. The legitimacy and completeness of your documents will then be verified. If the verification process is complete, you have completed the process and you can create an account in Studielink. If you are unable to make a scan or photo, please contact your issue to Studielink.
If do not have a passport or European identity card
If you do not have a passport or European identity card, you need to apply for one with your local government authority. If you are unable to apply for a passport or European identity card, please contact Student Services of UT. Eventually, you will need a passport or European identity card in order to complete your application.
Why do I have to upload my passport or European identity card? By submitting a copy or your passport or European identity card, Studielink can ensure that you only have to submit a copy of your personal documents once. Your identity is then verified for all institutions of higher education to which you may want to apply. You do not have to submit a copy of your passport or European identity card to each institution separately. Moreover, this verification ensures a safer enrolment process: Studielink knows a valid passport or European identity card is provided and that you are a real person. This will help Studielink counter abuse of the service with fake accounts.
Do you want to know more about the verification process? If you want to know more about the personal details verification process, you can check the Studielink website. Studielink set up different step-by-step plans and a Studielink Q&A.

How do I know if I am enrolled?
