Arrange your online business affairs via eHerkenning
eHerkenning allows companies to arrange their online municipal affairs securely, reliably and simply.
What is eHerkenning?
eHerkenning is the digital access key for companies and the government. Just as private persons log in with DigiD to arrange their online municipal affairs, companies can log in via eHerkenning using a user name and password. eHerkenning arranges the digital authentication and checks the digital authorisation. Companies can also authorise their employees to arrange certain affairs via eHerkenning.
Do you not yet have eHerkenning but you do need it? Begin by applying on time using the step-by-step plan on the website of eHerkenning(External link).
