ID.me-account na overlijden

Een ID.me-account na overlijden kan toegang beïnvloeden tot belastinggegevens, uitkeringen, financiële portalen en diensten die identiteitsverificatie gebruiken. Behandel het niet als een gewone login. Leg veilig vast welk e-mailadres, telefoonnummer, MFA-middel, gekoppelde diensten en bevoegde contactpersoon erbij horen.

Praktische stappen

Breng in kaart welke instanties of diensten ID.me gebruiken. Verzamel de overlijdensakte en documenten van de executeur of beheerder. Gebruik officiële kanalen van ID.me en de betrokken instantie en houd een logboek bij.

Checklist

Noteer e-mail en telefoonnummer.
Lijst gekoppelde diensten op.
Documenteer apparaat, MFA en herstel.
Bewaar juridische documenten.
Let op fraude- en privacyrisico's.

Belangrijkste punten

An ID.me account may sit between families and government, tax, benefits, or financial services that use identity verification.

ID.me publishes account closure and privacy-rights guidance, including data download and deletion considerations.

A password is not the same as authority; executors should separate inventory, legal documents, and technical recovery.

Families should watch for fraud and use official agency and ID.me channels after death.

Stap voor stap

Record the ID.me email, phone number, MFA method, linked device, and connected services.

Store executor, administrator, or power-of-attorney details with the digital estate plan.

After death, gather the death certificate and contact the relevant agency before closing identity-linked accounts.

Use ID.me's official help or privacy channels for data, closure, or support questions.

Keep a written log of requests, documents submitted, responses, and unresolved identity or fraud concerns.

Veelgestelde vragen

Should families use a deceased person's ID.me password?

A password may help identify that an account exists, but it should not replace legal authority or official support and agency processes.

What should be documented for an ID.me estate plan?

Document the login email, phone number, MFA method, connected agencies or services, recovery path, and the person authorized to contact support.

Should an ID.me account be deleted immediately after death?

Usually not before checking whether the estate needs records or agency access. Identify connected services, preserve necessary records, then use official closure or privacy paths.
