When you have completed the onboarding, you can proceed with your ID-check in the app. This article explains how it works. Make sure to follow the steps that apply to your type of identification document.
I have a Dutch passport/identity card or residence permit
Dutch passport/identity card | You can work via the platform!
Dutch residence permit | If you have a Dutch residence permit, it is important to check your residence endorsement. Does your residence permit say 'Arbeid vrij toegestaan, TWV niet vereist' (work freely permitted, work permit not required) or 'Arbeid als zelfstandige'? Then you can perform the ID-check in the same way as with a Dutch passport or ID card. If you have a different type of residence permit, it may be that you cannot work via YoungOnes and your ID-check will be rejected.
I have a foreign passport/identity card or residence permit
Foreign EU/EEA or Swiss identity document | If you have a passport or ID card from a country belonging to the EU/EEA or from Switzerland, you can work for us. You can check if your country is part of the EU/EEA via this link. For this check, you are required to submit a BSN statement in addition to the front and back of your identity document. You may submit one of the following as a valid BSN statement:
- A valid Dutch driving licence (front and back)
- A statement with reference to the municipality or government and your name and BSN
Note: a screenshot of a letter is accepted, a screenshot of a website is not.
Foreign EU/EEA or Swiss residence permit | It is only possible to join our platform with a Dutch residence permit. All other residence permits are not accepted.
Other foreign identity document | If you hold a passport/identity document from a country that does not belong to the EU/EEA or Switzerland, it is not possible to work on our platform unless you have a Dutch residence permit. In some cases, for example through a specific residence endorsement sticker in your passport, it may still be possible to work on our platform. Please contact our helpdesk via the app if this applies to you.
Do you still have questions about the ID-check? Feel free to contact our helpdesk via the app and, we’ll help you further.
