eIDAS for companies

eIDAS (Electronic Identification and Trust Services) is an European Union regulation, to allow european citizen and companies to digitally authenticate in any european country using their national identity. When authenticating with eIDAS, the user supplies some basic personal information; their first- and lastname, date of birth and their BSN or other national identification. When authenticating as a company, the legal name of the company will also be made available.

The eIDAS prefill plugin can be used to access this data in order to prefill personal and company information of the authenticated company and acting person within a form.
