  • Get started: how can I create my itsme account for the first time?

    To install itsme for the first time, you need to download the itsme app from the App Store; Google Play or Huawei App Gallery and create an itsme account.

    You can do this with your eID card (from the age of 18) or through your bank (from the age of 16).

    Attention: did you already install itsme once and is your itsme blocked, or do you have a new smartphone? Then you need to reactivate your itsme with your bank card (BNPPF, Belfius, KBC, CBC, ING, Hello Bank or Fintro) or with your eID card.

  • Block: how can I block my itsme?

    Have you clicked on a suspicious link or noticed suspicious activity? And you'd like to block your account? Block your itsme account via the itsme website : https://my.prd.itsme.be/block

    ·      Enter your telephone number and given name(s). Please mind, enter all the given name(s) written exactly the same as it is written on your ID card.

    ·      Confirm that you wish to block your itsme account

    ·      Your account is now blocked (you will receive a confirmation by SMS)

    Afterwards, you can reactivate your account using your eID or through your bank.
