eHerkenning has several levels of security. Each level requires differing verifications and extra security methods.
Digidentity offers the following eHerkenning levels:
eHerkenning level 2+
With eHerkenning level 2+ you may log in to certain municipal portals, such as Justis (for a VOG application), and specific services of the RVO.
During registration, you must provide your proof of identity. You can then log in to your account with a ‘personal certificate’.
eHerkenning level 3
This eHerkenning level is the standard. You can use it to log in to My Tax Authorities Business, the UWV, RVO and many others. You can also use it to log in to portals that require level 2+. Digidentity offers this level in several variants. Read more in this article.
During registration, you must provide your proof of identity and verify this with a selfie via the Digidentity Wallet app. You can then log in to your account with a ‘personal certificate’.
eHerkenning level 4 Remote
This is the highest security level offered. Level 4 Remote allows you to log in to all portals. Level 4 will soon be required on the ' ZakelijkPortaal / MijnGegegevensdiensten' portal of the UWV.
During registration you will be required to provide your ID, you will be asked for a moving selfie and your registration be required to carry out a face to face check. You will log in with a Qualified certificate.
How do I find out which level I need?
Are you unsure of which eHerkenning level you need? You can always find this out when you try to log in to a particular service. For example, when you log in to the UWV employer portal, you will see the image below.
