eIDAS

European citizens can use their own (notified) national identification and authentication means to access online services privided by Belgian authorities.

This authentication method is refered to as eIDAS authentication, with eIDAS standing for ‘Electronic Identification And Trust Services’ as per the European legislation ‘Regulation (EU) 910/2014’. The primary objective of this legislation is to facilitate cross-border digital transactions (interoperability) among citizens of the European Union, aiming to foster economic and social development among participating countries.

If you’re country is one of the countries below, you might have a European electronic identification mean that is eIDAS certified.

Individuals with French or British nationality will not be able to log in via eIDAS. You will be need to use the CSAM registration.

What do I need to log into eIDAS ?

To be able to log in to KLIP, you need to do a couple of steps:

Register as a private person to obtain a Belgian national identification number
Use that number to be connected to a company (and be able to use KLIP for that company)

As a private person, you can use KLIP, but only for private use, not for professional use.

1. Register as a private person

For initial eIDAS login, you will need your European electronic identification means, Belgian national identification number, email address, and telephone number.

Subsequent logins to eIDAS will only require your European electronic identification means.

If you have not yet obtained a Belgian national identification number, you can obtain one as follows:

Navigate

Surf to klip.vlaanderen.be

Click on the tile ‘eIDAS’:

Select country

You will now be directed to a page displaying the flags of EU member states. Please click on the flag corresponding to the country whose eIDAS notified key you wish to use.

You can now log in with your own key according to the procedure you are familiar with, via the authentication provider of the country you selected.

Fill in the mandatory fields

You now get the following page

Please complete all required fields (indicated by ‘*’) with your personal information.

If you possess and are aware of your Belgian national number, input it into the top field of the form and click ‘Send’. If the personal data you’ve entered matches exactly with the data stored in a Belgian persons’ register, you will gain access to the online service. At this point, you should stop and follow the procedure outlined in the section ‘I have successfully logged into eIDAS. What do I have to do next?’
If you are unaware of your Belgian national number, please select the checkbox labeled ‘I do not know my Belgian identification number’ and click ‘Send’. In this scenario, you will not immediately gain access to the online service. Instead, a procedure will be initiated to assign you a Belgian national number.

You will then receive the following message. This alert informs you that your request will be processed promptly by a Federal Government agent.

Receive a Belgian national identification number

After verification of your personal data and once your registration has been approved, you will receive an email containing your personal and unique BE national number. In the event that there is an issue with your personal data, you will be contacted to correct or complete the data you provided in the form.
Remark: You may be required to provide a copy of your personal identity documents.

Once you have supplied the necessary data, you will receive an email with your personal and unique BE national number.

You can now follow the procedure outlined in the section below.

2. Get a professional account

Even though you are now able to log into eIDAS via your preferred European electronic identification mean, you are not yet be able to log into KLIP as a professional user.

There are two options for registering as a professional user on KLIP:

Option 1: Your company is registered in User-Management Flanders (IDM)

Option 2: Your company is not registered in User-Management Flanders (IDM)

You can register via self-registration links through this self-registration link.

To complete the registration process, you will need the KBO number of your organization. The KBO-number is a unique identifier for businesses and organizations in Belgium. It’s essential for accurate registration and identification purposes.
