In order to apply for a eHerkenning at Level 4, you must hold a personal certificate or an occupational certificate.

This certificate is a SIM card + USB stick or card + card reader linked to your computer that allows you to validly sign documents (in person) on behalf of your organization or by virtue of your recognized profession.

If you do not have a personal certificate or an occupational certificate, please let us know where you wish to log in with eHerkenning.

If you do have a personal certificate or a professional certificate, we kindly ask you to follow the instructions below on how to retrieve the correct thumbprint and submit it to us in order to continue your application.

How can I find the Thumbprint in my PKIoverheid certificate? 

1. Insert your PKIoverheid certificate into the reader, or connect your USB token to your computer.
2. Open an Internet browser of your preference and search for your certificates via Settings. Below for each browser are the steps to take on how to get there:

Google Chrome:
Open Settings → click the Privacy and Security tab on the left → click the Security button → click the Manage Certificates button.

Microsoft Edge:
Open Settings → click the Privacy, Search and Services tab on the left→ click the Manage Certificates button.

Firefox:
Open Settings → click the Privacy & Security tab on the left → click View Certificates...

Internet Explorer:
Open Internet Options → click the Content tab → click the Certificates button.

1. A new window will open called Certificates (or Certificate Manager in Firefox) in which you will see an overview of the certificates present on your PC.
2. Under the Personal tab (or Your Certificates in Firefox) you will see the three PKIoverheid certificate components belonging to your PKIoverheid certificate. (Identifiable under granted to: three lines with your name and Granted by: KPN BV PKIoverheid O...)
3. Click on the 3 lines and find the line where when you select it (blue bar) it says below: Intended certificate purposes: Client Authentication, Secure Email, Document Signing.
4. Then double-click on this line or click the View button
5. A new window now opens called Certificate with the General, Details and Certification Path tabs .
6. Click the Details tab and scroll down until you see the "Thumbprint" or "Fingerprint" field, then select this field to see the entire thumbprint below it (line of 40 characters; combination of numbers and letters).
7. As an additional check that you have selected and opened the correct certificate component (correct line of the 3 options in step 5.), behind Key Usage should read: Digital Signature (80).
