Is eHerkenning down right now?
Finance staff check the eHerkenning status when the tax portal throws them out on a filing morning. eHerkenning down reports rise when a supplier login page stalls or a portal rejects valid accounts.
Most blocks turn out to be account faults, not a dead service. A wrong level or an expired subscription looks just like an outage from the login chair.
Is eHerkenning down for me or everyone?
Test the same login at a second portal, such as UWV after the Tax Administration failed. One portal down with the other working points at that portal. Both failing at the supplier step means the eHerkenning outage sits with your supplier or your own token.
Why does the portal say I am not authorised?
The message means your token lacks a right the portal wants. A restricted level 3 product for the Tax Administration fails at every other portal by design.
Company admins can also switch services off per worker. Ask your admin to open your service list and compare it with a colleague who gets in.
Which assurance level does my portal need?
Each portal sets its own floor, and level 3 is the common one for tax and benefits work. Your login page names the required level when it blocks you. An upgrade runs through your supplier and works as soon as the new product is active.
Can one token serve several companies?
One token holds one company link per product, and staff with several firms pick the company at login. Picking the wrong firm gives the not authorised screen at the next step. Log out fully, then pick again with care.
What is a chain authorisation for accountants?
A chain authorisation lets an accounting firm act for a client inside the portals. The client grants it once, and the firm logs in under its own eHerkenning. A missing grant shows as a plain login refusal.
Common eHerkenning Problems and Fixes
These checks solve most eHerkenning login blocks without a call to your supplier.
Pick the right company first
Staff with tokens for sister firms land in the wrong books. Check the company name on the confirm screen before you enter your code.
Compare your level with the portal floor
A level 2+ token stops at any portal that demands level 3. Your supplier account page shows your current level in plain text.
Refresh the supplier app code
App codes die when the phone clock drifts. Set the phone clock to automatic, reopen the supplier app and ask for a fresh code.
Renew before the subscription ends
An expired product fails at every portal on the same morning. Renew inside your supplier account and the same token works again.
Ask your admin about service limits
Admins can hide single services from single workers. One screenshot of your service list tells the admin what to switch back on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my login work at one portal and fail at another?
Each portal asks for its own level and service rights. A tax-only product fails at UWV by design. Compare the portal demand with your product list.
How do I upgrade to a higher level?
Order the upgrade inside your supplier account and finish the identity check it asks for. The higher level works right after activation. Keep the subscription term at least as long as the old one.
Is eHerkenning down for me or is my token blocked?
Try a login from a colleague on the same portal. Their success with your failure points at your token or rights. Two failures side by side point at the portal.
Can I share my eHerkenning with a colleague?
No, the token is personal and tied to your own identity check. Sharing breaks the rules of the system and can end the account. Each worker needs a personal product.
What does the supplier do during a login fault?
Your supplier runs the login page and the token itself. Portal staff cannot fix a supplier fault. Send the supplier the error text, the portal name and the time it failed.
When should I pick a new supplier?
Price and support hours differ per supplier, and switching is allowed at renewal. Your rights and company links move with a fresh check. Portals accept every approved supplier the same way.
