Each country defines their own data collection process. Therefor, please be informed about the requirements stated on the foreign website you want to logon to. eHerkenning complies with the requirements for an officially recognized European authentication method. As of september 2021, entrepreneurs can use eHerkenning to digitally arrange matters in any EER-Country as long as the website you're logging onto supports eIDAS. **Where do I need eIDAS for?** If your organization is registered with the Dutch chamber of commerce (KvK), you can use eIDAS to logon to any (governement) service that supports eIDAS within the EER-zone.  **How can I apply for eIDAS? ** Please apply for eIDAS by sending an e-mail to consultancy@reconi.nl. We will review your request and if eligible, you will receive an e-mail with the follow-up steps. - [Apply for eHerkenning](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/apply-for-eherkenning?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Preparation for your application](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/apply-for-eherkenning?hsLang=en#preparation-for-your-application) - [While applying](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/apply-for-eherkenning?hsLang=en#while-applying) - [Pricing](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/apply-for-eherkenning?hsLang=en#pricing) - [Handling time](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/apply-for-eherkenning?hsLang=en#handling-time) - [Edit](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/edit?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Change company details](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/edit?hsLang=en#change-company-details) - [Change Data](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/edit?hsLang=en#change-data) - [Edit for users](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/edit?hsLang=en#edit-for-users) - [Extend eHerkenning](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/edit?hsLang=en#extend-eherkenning) - [Management Module](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/management-module?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Request/Add](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/management-module?hsLang=en#request-add) - [Remove/Terminate](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/management-module?hsLang=en#remove-terminate) - [Extend](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/management-module?hsLang=en#extend) - [Assistance with login](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/assistance-with-login?hsLang=en) - [Identify](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/identify?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Pre identification](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/identify?hsLang=en#pre-identification) - [During the identification](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/identify?hsLang=en#during-the-identification) - [After the identification](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/identify?hsLang=en#after-the-identification) - [Chain Authorizations](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/chain-authorizations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Before you start the application](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/chain-authorizations?hsLang=en#before-you-start-the-application) - [Chain Authorizations renewal](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/chain-authorizations?hsLang=en#chain-authorizations-renewal) - [Organization without a Chamber of Commerce number](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/organization-without-a-chamber-of-commerce-number?hsLang=en) - [Invoice](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/invoice?hsLang=en) - [PKI & eHerkenning EH4](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#main-content) - [EH4](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#eh4) - [PKI General information](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#pki-general-information) - [Personal certificate](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#personal-certificate) - [Professional certificate](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#professional-certificate) - [Thumbprint](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#thumbprint) - [SBR certificate](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/pki-eherkenning-eh4?hsLang=en#sbr-certificate) - [News, Technical difficulties & Maintenance](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/news-technical-difficulties-maintenance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Technical issues](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/news-technical-difficulties-maintenance?hsLang=en#technical-issues) - [News](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/news-technical-difficulties-maintenance?hsLang=en#news) - [Contact](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/en/contact?hsLang=en) [Inloggen](https://www.reconi.nl/inloggen/) [Storingen & Onderhoud](https://klantenservice.reconi.nl/migration//storingen-onderhoud?hsLang=nl) [Privacy](https://www.reconi.nl/privacy/) Reconi Pieter Lieftinckweg 11 1505HX, Zaandam
