Read a Belgian identity card once, skip the manual paperwork.

Registering a new client usually means typing a name, an address and a date of birth by hand, then double-checking it later when something does not match. Reading a Belgian eID card at the counter removes that whole step.

What eID reading replaces

Instead of asking a client to spell their name and address, a single card read fills in the identity fields directly from the official chip, in seconds, without typos.

Age verification without friction

Age checks stop being a judgment call or an awkward question. The date of birth comes straight from the card, so it is verified and recorded the same way every time, for every client.

One less place for errors

A misspelled name or a wrong birth year in a paper register is a small thing, until it is the record an inspector asks about. Reading the eID once removes that entire category of mistake.
