It is now possible to online manage your donor registration through DigID, the uniform online identification method of the Dutch government. With this, the government extends the type of services accessible through DigID. In a next step the government can give access to things Dutch citizens are obliged to take care of, like medical insurance or car insurance. After that, I expect the government to start helping third parties. So that for example you can set up your e-mail like 'only mail from identified sender', without a blacklist. Slowly the government then takes on the same role as in the physical world: it gives you a proof of identity to travel the world. This development is a step in that direction.
