eID Services

All eID services are offered for free on this e-contract.be web server. These services can be used during developments. Small scale users can also use these services for production deployments. Please let us known if you're planning to use the e-contract services for production environments as it helps our capacity planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

To aid the service desk of our clients, we offer a FAQ about our eID services.

Service Level Agreement

Only registered clients can enforce certain SLA conditions. Once you consume a certain volume, we ask you to become a registered client.

Dedicated environment

Clients requiring a custom SLA and/or consuming a very high volume are assigned a dedicated environment. In this setup, the e-contract.be system serves as fail-over in case the dedicated environment goes down.

For more information on these different offerings, please contact us at sales@e-contract.be.

eID Trust Service
