ForReg

FORREG

ForReg (Foreign Registration) is an application that allows the FPS Finance to grant access to its applications to persons without a Belgian authentication method (eID, Itsme and password token) or eIDAS. ForReg offers those persons an alternative validation procedure that does not require them to physically come to our country.

You can only use this method if:

WHICH APPLICATIONS DO I HAVE ACCESS TO?

Currently, this new authentication method is not yet compatible with all our online applications. You can only make a request in ForReg if you wish to identify yourself using one of the following applications:

As a citizen:

On behalf of a company:

More applications will be added to this list in the future.

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET ACCESS?

  1. Create a BOSA account via this link. After creating your account, you must validate your email address. Carefully store your user name and password.
  2. Go to the application you want to access (for instance Intervat or PDIE) and log in with your BOSA account. 

  1. You will automatically be redirected to the ForReg application.
  2. Fill in the ForReg form.
    • Prove your identity in ForReg by uploading a copy of your passport or identity card along with a photo of yourself also showing the document. 
    • If you are registering in 'your own name', please provide the following documents and details:
      • Belgian employment agreement or income form or tax return of yourself or your partner.
    • If you are registering in 'the name of a company', please provide the following documents and details: 
      • Employment agreement, if possible stating your job title within the company;
      • Your professional e-mail address or that of your organisation;
      • The professional e-mail address of the manager on whose behalf you wish to act (to send the notification);
      • A power of attorney showing that you can represent the company and have access to fulfil the company's tax obligations, drawn up by a director who can represent the company (person with power of representation);
      • An extract from the commercial register showing that you are the manager or that you have legal status in the company;
      • An extract from the company's articles of association (if the document is not written in one of the three national languages, you must include an official translation in French, Dutch, German or at least in English);
      • The latest publication in the Belgian Official Journal (or equivalent) of the appointment of the director who has drawn up the power of attorney or, for foreign companies, equivalent supporting documents (if the document is not written in one of the three national languages, you must include an official translation in French, Dutch, German or at least in English).
  3. An employee of the Federal Public Service Finance will receive your form and deal with your request. This may take several days.
  4. You may be invited to a video call to further verify your identity.
  5. Once your identity has been verified and validated, your access will be activated. In this case, after logging in with your user name and password (from your BOSA account), you will no longer be automatically redirected to ForReg, but directly to the application.

CAN I CREATE A FISCAL MANDATE THROUGH FORREG?

No. A fiscal mandate can be requested via the ‘Mandates’ application. Check the page of Mandates for further info.

If your ForReg application concerns the creation of a fiscal mandate, it will be rejected. 

CAN I REGISTER PHYSICALLY INSTEAD OF ONLINE?

You can register at a physical local registration office in Belgium. More info on this can be found in the CSAM help centre.

WHAT IF I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY USERNAME OR PASSWORD?

It is not possible to recover your username or password. If you have forgotten your username or password, you will need to create a new BOSA account with a different e-mail address and go through the entire ForReg procedure again.

This is why we strongly recommend to carefully store the password of your BOSA account.
