To get a QES through ZealiD, you need:

  • A Passport, an Identification Card or a Residence Permit issued by one of the EU Member States, Norway, the United Kingdom or other countries outside the EU;
  • A smartphone or tablet with biometric authentication (Touch ID or Face ID);
  • The ZealiD app, available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
