General information on renewals

Two months prior to the eHerkenning' end date, we will notify you through e-mail two times.
This e-mail contains a link to start the renewal process. If your organization has an Authorization Manager within Reconi, this person will be notified too. The Authorization Manager can easily renew your eHerkenning through My Reconi. Didn't you receive the renewal notification? Please check your SPAM folder, or logon to My Reconi to renew your eHerkenning.

Renewing your own eHerkenning

If your organization doesn't have an Authorization Manager, you can only renew the eHerkenning yourself. If you are the Authorization Manager yourself, you can only renew your own eHerkenning (including the Authorization Manager-role) yourself.

In both cases mentioned above, a so-called Registration form is required. This will be generated during the online process, and it can be downloaded as one of the final steps in the renewal process.

Do you want to add additional authorizations during the renewal? Or do you want to become an Authorization Manager? In that case, you can just follow the steps for adding these, and your eHerkenning will also be Renewed with the selected duration. Click here for the step-by-step guide.

If there's an Authorization Manager within your organization, this person can renew your eHerkenning through My Reconi without the requirement for a signed form. 

Do you still want to initiate the renewal yourself? Please follow the steps below:
1. Please Log onto My Reconi
2. Select 'My Account' and 'My Authorizations'. A new screen will appear.
3. Click 'Renew authorizations' at the bottom of the screen.
4. Select the organization for which you want to renew your Authorizations.
5. The organization details are shown. If these are correct, please click 'next'.
6. Your personal details are shown. If these are correct, you can click 'next'.
7. Choose the authorizations you want to renew, and select the desired duration. 

If the 'authorizations' step displays an error message saying 'no authorizations were found', your authorizations are expired. Please follow the steps to add an authorization by clicking here.

8. Click “Next. The step that now appears may differ for each application:
Are you listed with the Chamber of Commerce as an Solely Authorized Director? Then you can -if applicable- add your other organizations here.
Do you have another authority with the Chamber of Commerce, or are you not listed as a director? Then you can specify who the other directors are in this step. For more information on the minimum number of directors per situation, click here.
9. Select whether you want to add a CoC extract yourself, or whether we should request it on your behalf (a fee is charged if we request an Extract).
10. Check the billing information, and if necessary, enter your own reference at 'PO/Reference Number'. This is an optional field which you can also leave blank if its not necessary for you/your organization to include a reference on the invoice. After this, 'please click 'next'.
11. An overview of your renewal request will appear. Please check that all data is correct, and read the terms and conditions. Is everything correct? Check off the agreement statement, then select 'Agree'.
12. Add the files listed on-screen.
13. Click 'Next' to finalize the application, and select the desired payment method. After the payment, additional steps are still required.
14. Download the registration form, and save this file. Print the document, and please send it to us with the original signatures. In most cases, it's required to send this form by post. In this last step, you can also change your application into an priority application (extra costs apply).
