Smart-ID has been added to Belgium’s federal authentication system as an officially recognised digital key, giving people a secure way to access state online services with their smartphone. After receiving the highest assurance level for digital identification in January 2026, Smart-ID was quickly integrated and tested with major public platforms and is now fully live for everyday use.

The integration builds on earlier technical and security accreditation and makes Smart-ID available as a daily identification tool in digital interactions with the government.​ By appearing alongside existing login options on the central government page, Smart-ID broadens choice and supports the development of a more open authentication market in Belgium.

Smart-ID meets the strictest Belgian and European security requirements and holds the highest assurance level under the eIDAS framework in four EU countries, including Belgium.​​

For regulated sectors such as banking, insurance and telecommunications, the successful deployment in the federal authentication system confirms that Smart-ID is suitable for services requiring strong, government‑grade digital identification and authentication.
