Getting started with itsme®

In order to use itsme®, you must first download the app in the App Store or Google Play. Then, you must connect your ID data to your itsme® account. This can be done in two ways:

1. Via our partner banks: Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, ING, KBC
2. Via the itsme® website using your eID and your eID card reader

If you have a non-Belgian phone number, you can (for the moment) only create an itsme® account with your eID.

To be able to use itsme®, you first have to download the itsme® app from the App Store or on Google Play. You then have to link your identity data to your itsme® account using your eID (electronic identity card) via this link.

Follow the steps on our website:

1. Enter your mobile phone number and email address. Confirm your details.
2. Insert your eID card in the card reader. Validate your identity data. For this step, it is essential to install the Connective software or plug-in and that of your card reader if this has not yet been done.
3. Sign the itsme® contract with your eID by entering your PIN code
4. Your identification token (6 characters) will be displayed on your screen

Now follow the steps in the itsme® app:

1. Enter your mobile phone number.
2. Enter your identification token (6 characters).
3. Enter the verification code (5 figures) received by text.
4. Choose your 5-figure itsme® code and confirm your code.

If your telephone supports Touch ID / Face ID / Fingerprint, you can easily activate it if you wish.

The PIN code of your eID (electronic identity card) was sent to you by post.

If you no longer have this letter, please request a new code from your commune or via this link.

Install the ‘Connective’ software or plug-in. Click here and follow the steps to install the plug-in.

An identification token is a code of 6 characters that you need to connect your ID data to your digital ID. You can request a token by registering on the itsme® website using your eID or at one of our partners: Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, ING, or KBC.
