eduID: 1 digital identity for students
Education is digitising and becoming more flexible. Students want to shape their own educational career. This creates logistical and administrative challenges. That is why SURF, together with the institutions, is developing eduID: a single identity that students can use at every educational institution: before, during and after their studies.
Principles eduID
- personal
- control by the student himself
- usable for life, even after graduation
- privacy-friendly
As an institution, what can you do with eduID?
- Identify and authorise students.
- Exchange student information or achieved results digitally, with the student's consent.
- Simplify the registration process for a course or minor at another institution.
- Give students lifelong visibility of their educational data.
- Identify and authorise external researchers.

Read about eduID applications
SURF continues to work on new applications of eduID. For example, it is already possible for students to register with other institutions in one click (eduXchange), and to receive a digital certification per subject (edubadges).
