Register for NemSMS

It is free to register for NemSMS. You can register and opt out by doing the following:

2. In the menu, you will find 'NemSMS – text message service'. 
3. Now you can register for or opt out of NemSMS. At registration, it is important that you register the correct mobile number.

If you are signed up for Digital Post and have already chosen to receive messages regarding new post via text messages (SMS), the NemSMS solution will use the same mobile number to send you service messages.

When you accept the terms, you are giving all public authorities who use NemSMS permission to send you service messages.

What if I get a new mobile number?

If you change your mobile number, you have to inform the public sector about your new number, to ensure that service messages (NemSMS) and messages concerning new post (Digital Post) are sent correctly to you. You alone are responsible for updating your mobile number.

You can change your mobile number by doing the following:

1. Log in to Digital Post with your NemID/MitID.
2. In the menu, you will find 'NemSMS – text message service' and within this menu 'View and edit your mobile phone number', where you can change your mobile number.
