Authorising someone else

DUO is never allowed to give out personal information about others, not even if somebody is under 18. We only provide information to the relevant person themselves. If you would like someone else to deal with DUO on your behalf, you need to authorise this person.

How do you arrange authorisation?

Authorising somebody is mostly done by form. The table will tell you which form to use. You will find the forms under the table. An authorization for Mijn DUO you arrange online.
