Step 2: Confirm the appointment for a video interview

You will receive an email with a link to confirm or cancel your appointment. For this you will need the security code you received in the previous step. And you'll have to provide a high-quality color copy of your ID.

You can initiate the video interview by using a link that you received by e-mail. During the conversation the interviewer will guide you through the authentication process and give you an activation code for the digital key.

Step 4: Activate the digital key

You will receive an e-mail with a link that you can use to activate your digital key. For this you also need the activation code that you received during the video interview.
