  If you registered with a qualified electronic certificate, and you have not changed the email address read from the certificate, you do not need to verify the email address. The account is then automatically active.

  If you manually entered or changed your email address during registration, a verification email will be sent to the address you entered. You must complete the verification within 24 hours. If the verification email did not arrive at the email address, please check your spam folder.
