How do I request a Tax Service token?

In order to log in to the portals operated by the Dutch Tax Service, you need eHerkenning with at least level-3 assurance (EH3). You can request an EH3 login token on the We-ID website (dutch). Is submitting your tax return the only thing you need eHerkenning for? If so, you can request a special Tax Service EH3 login token.

How do I request an EH2 token for accessing UWV services?

Do you want to log in to the Employer’s Portal operated by the Employee Insurance Scheme Executive Body (UWV), to report sickness absences, for example? You’ll need eHerkenning with at least assurance level 3 plus service authorisations. When requesting an EH3 login token, make sure you give your eight-digit Trade Register Number, not a twelve-digit branch number. If you use the wrong number, you won’t be able to login with the UWV.

How do I request a token for accessing Chamber of Commerce services?

Is it time to submit your accounts to the Chamber of Commerce (CoC)? Do you want to register a business online? You can log in to the CoC website using eHerkenning. The CoC will currently accept an eHerkenning level 2 token (EH2), which you can request on the We-ID website. However, we advise opting for an EH3 login to futureproof your access to the CoC’s online services.

What if I need eHerkenning to get a Certificate of Good Behaviour?

To apply for a Certificate of Good Behaviour (VOG) – similar to a criminal records check – you’ll need eHerkenning with at least assurance level 2+ (EH2+). However, level 3 (EH3) is rapidly becoming the norm for service providers. We therefore advise futureproofing your access by opting for an EH3 login token from the start. You can request one via the We-ID website, and use it for your VOG application.
