eHerkenning is a secure and reliable digital login means, which can be compared to DigiD. You use eHerkenning to log in to service providers such as UWV, Tax and Customs Administration, municipalities and insurers on behalf of your organisation.
With eHerkenning, you can identify yourself online and safely exchange confidential data with other organisations. The great convenience is that you can log in with several organisations using a single login medium. That means fewer passwords to remember. You also choose how you want to log in. Safe, easy and reliable.
There are different levels of trust within eHerkenning. The service provider you wish to log in with eHerkenning determines the required level.
When applying for eHerkenning, choose the level that the service provider requests from you.
For an overview of all service providers and their corresponding trust levels, you can refer to the service providers' overview.
More and more service providers are raising the required reliability level to level EH3. We therefore advise you to apply for EH3 if you want to use eHerkenning for a longer period of time.
