It allows employees to log in on behalf of their organisation when accessing Dutch government portals, tax authorities, insurers, and other connected services. It is the Dutch equivalent of a business eID, notified in Europe under eIDAS. Digidentity is one of the founding providers of eHerkenning and the only Dutch supplier offering fully remote registration at all trust levels, including EH4. The registration process uses NFC passport chip reading and biometric liveness detection — no appointment required. **Trust levels:** - EH2+: Entry level. Required for limited portals (e.g. mijn.rvo.nl, Zorgregister). Being phased out by legislation; EH3 is strongly recommended as the minimum going forward. - EH3: Standard level. Required for most government portals including the Dutch Tax Authority (Belastingdienst). - EH3 Tax: Specifically for the Belastingdienst. - EH4: Highest level. Required for high-assurance services such as patent applications and pardon requests. Access to all eHerkenning-connected services. **Digidentity differentiators for eHerkenning:** - Only Dutch provider for fully remote EH4 registration (no separate PKI certificate needed). - No hidden costs: no extra charges for changes, invoices, hardware, urgent processing, or support. - Passwordless login via smartphone and five-digit PIN — no USB token required. - Self Service Portal (SSP) for managing colleagues, authorisations, and changes. - Portaalzoeker tool to check which trust level a specific portal requires. ### eHerkenning EH2+ **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/products/eherkenning/eh2-plus EH2+ is the entry-level eHerkenning product. It provides access to a limited number of portals (including mijn.rvo.nl and Zorgregister). EH2+ is expected to be phased out in the near term due to upcoming legislation; EH3 is recommended for most new registrations. Registration is fully remote, without an appointment. Requires a phone and a valid identity document (ID card, driver's licence, or passport). ### eHerkenning EH4 **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/products/eherkenning/eh4 EH4 is the highest trust level of eHerkenning. It provides access to all eHerkenning-connected services. At Digidentity, EH4 does not require a separate PKI certificate — making Digidentity both the most affordable and the easiest option for EH4. Registration is fully remote. The process involves: creating an account, remote identification via NFC chip scan and selfie, payment via iDEAL/credit card/bank transfer, and authorisation by a company representative via SSP or written power of attorney. After registration, login is done by scanning a QR code with a phone and entering a PIN. Every EH4 registration includes five free qualified electronic signatures (QES). ### eHerkenning Enterprise **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/eherkenning-enterprise For organisations that need eHerkenning for multiple employees or multiple entities. Includes: scalable solutions, a self-service portal (SSP) for easy management, bulk registration options, and custom pricing via a tailored quote. ### Ketenmachtigingen (chain authorisations) **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/products/eherkenning-chain-authorisation Allows intermediaries — such as accountants, tax advisors, or administrative service providers — to log in with eHerkenning on behalf of their clients. Authorisations are requested and managed via the Self Service Portal. Priced at €20 per year per chain authorisation (excl. VAT). ### eHerkenning Makelaar (broker) **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/products/eherkenning/broker Enables organisations that provide digital services to offer eHerkenning as a login method to their users. Digidentity verifies the identity of users on behalf of the service provider, so the organisation can offer a secure environment without managing identity verification themselves. --- ## Digital signing and eSignatures **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/products/digital-signing As a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), Digidentity issues signing certificates.

The company is a member of both the EU Digital Identity Wallet Consortium (EWC) and the WE BUILD large-scale pilot consortium, which are part of the European Commission's Large-Scale Pilots for the EU Digital Identity Wallet. **Live deployment — City of Rotterdam:** Digidentity, working with the City of Rotterdam's IAM team and IAM provider Anoigo, has developed a decentralised identity wallet aligned with the Architecture Reference Framework (ARF) for the EUDI Wallet. The wallet supports secure remote identity verification of both natural persons (eIDAS High) and legal persons. It is used to verify foreign transport companies seeking access to Rotterdam's Low Emission Zones (LEZs), and their staff (truck drivers) requiring operational access. Digidentity's identity wallet is eIDAS notified for level Substantial and High, eIDAS notified for QES and eSeals, and is eIDAS 2.0 and ARF compliant. Qualified Attestation of Attributes (QAA) is in development. ### Verifiable credentials **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/solutions/identity-wallet/verifiable-credentials Enables organisations to request and verify only the specific attributes relevant to them, using credentials stored securely in the Digidentity wallet. Users retain full control through selective disclosure — they decide what to share, with whom, and when. **Supported credential types:** identity documents, Right to Work documentation, DBS verifications, diplomas, licences, and other verifiable documents. **For businesses:** faster, more efficient onboarding; improved compliance with data protection regulations (GDPR); reduced administrative burden; elimination of repetitive document submission by users. Available as a self-service portal integration or via API. Compliant with eIDAS 2.0 and the Architecture Reference Framework (ARF). **Relevant sectors:** finance (customer onboarding), healthcare (patient data), education (digital diplomas), government (digital IDs, eGovernment services). ### EUDI Wallet Verifier **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/eudi-wallet-verifier A single API integration that allows websites and services to request verified digital credentials from any eIDAS 2.0 compliant wallet. Digidentity acts as a trusted intermediary between the service and the user's wallet — no direct integration with individual wallet providers required. **How it works (4 steps):** 1. The service makes a request to the Digidentity Verifier API with the schema and attributes to be verified. 2. The API returns a QR code and deeplink to embed in the service, website, or flow. 3. The end user scans the QR code with any EUDI-compliant wallet and shares the requested credentials. 4. The Verifier API returns the verified attributes in SAML or OpenID Connect protocol. **Technical standards:** mDoc (Mobile Document), SD-JWT, and JWT formats. Cryptographic verification ensures credential authenticity. **Key features:** universal compatibility (one API works with all compliant wallets), selective disclosure (users share only what is necessary), reduced friction (no document upload or lengthy forms), full GDPR and eIDAS 2.0 compliance. **Use cases:** - Financial services: streamline mortgage and loan applications using verified income data directly from tax authorities. - Hospitality: digital check-in and GDPR-compliant guest verification. - Age-restricted services: age verification without disclosing full identity. - Government: support for mandatory Person Identification Data (PID) issuance — all EU member states must provide digital PIDs to citizens by December 2026. --- ## SERMI **Source:** https://www.digidentity.eu/products/sermi SERMI (Secure Electronic Remote Management Infrastructure) is a scheme for secure accreditation and access to Security-related Repair and Maintenance Information (RMI) for vehicles.
