Logging in to mijn.rvo.nl for WBSO: Complete 2026 Guide

Need to log in to mijn.rvo.nl to manage your WBSO? Below is the complete guide: which login means you need (eHerkenning or DigiD), how to set up authorisations, and how to fix common login problems.

Quick answer

Employer (BV/NV/foundation)? → eHerkenning EH3 + RVO authorisation
Self-employed (eenmanszaak)? → DigiD or eHerkenning EH3
Want someone else to apply on your behalf? → eHerkenning authorisation "Wbso-portaal"
Login not working? → Jump to troubleshooting

What is mijn.rvo.nl?

mijn.rvo.nl is the official portal of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) where you manage all RVO-administered subsidies and incentives — including the WBSO (Dutch R&D tax credit).

Through this portal you can:

Submit a WBSO application
Track application status
Download your decision (S&O verklaring)
Submit the realisation report
Send notifications to RVO

Logging in: which credential?

Legal entities (BV, NV, foundation, association): eHerkenning EH3

Employers and all legal entities need eHerkenning level EH3 with a specific authorisation for the WBSO service.

How to get eHerkenning EH3:

Visit eherkenning.nl and choose an accredited supplier (Digidentity, We-ID, KPN, ReconiD)
Complete identity verification (KvK extract + authorised representative)
Request the authorisation "RVO — Wbso-portaal"
Lead time: 1–2 weeks
Cost: ~€ 50/year

Self-employed founders: DigiD or eHerkenning

Self-employed people can choose:

DigiD (free) — works immediately, uses your BSN
eHerkenning EH3 — more professional, required if you have employees

Tip for solo founders: start with DigiD. Only switch to eHerkenning when you hire staff or set up a BV.

Step-by-step: logging in

Go to mijn.rvo.nl
Click "Inloggen" (top right)
Choose "Voor uw bedrijf" (eHerkenning) or "Voor uzelf" (DigiD)
Pick your supplier (eHerkenning only)
Enter credentials + 2FA code (SMS or authenticator app)
You land on your dashboard with all active dossiers

Authorising someone else for WBSO

Want your accountant, financial adviser, or a platform like Manna to manage your WBSO? Set up an eHerkenning authorisation.

Steps:

Log in with your eHerkenning supplier
Go to "Manage authorisations"
Add a new authorisation for the desired party
Select service "RVO — Wbso-portaal" with scope "Read + write"
Confirm with your login means

The authorised party can now log in on your company's behalf.

Common login problems

"No access to this service"

Your eHerkenning works, but you don't have the WBSO authorisation. Request "RVO — Wbso-portaal" at your eHerkenning supplier.

"Login level too low"

You have EH2 or EH2+ instead of EH3. WBSO requires at least EH3 — upgrade at your supplier (~€ 10 – € 20/year extra).

"DigiD app not working"

Try logging in with SMS verification instead of the app. Still failing → reset DigiD via digid.nl.

"Session expired"

mijn.rvo.nl times out after 15 minutes of inactivity. Save your work regularly.

"Company not found"

Verify your KvK number is correctly linked to your eHerkenning. For recently founded BVs it can take 1–2 weeks for RVO to sync KvK data.

What to do after logging in

Once inside mijn.rvo.nl for WBSO:

New application: "Mijn aanvragen" → "Nieuwe aanvraag" → "WBSO"
Track status: dashboard shows all open dossiers (in progress / decided / rejected)
Download decision: open dossier → "Documenten" tab

FAQ

Does every employee need their own eHerkenning? No, only the person submitting WBSO applications. Other employees just record hours in your time-tracking tool.

Can I log in from my phone? Yes, mijn.rvo.nl is mobile-friendly. eHerkenning still requires your 2FA app or SMS.

What if my eHerkenning expires? Renew up to 30 days before expiry at your supplier. Otherwise: new application (1–2 weeks).

How do I change authorisations? Through your eHerkenning supplier (not via mijn.rvo.nl itself). RVO syncs within 24 hours.

How do I see who logged in for my company? mijn.rvo.nl shows the last action per dossier. For a full audit log, contact RVO support: 088 – 042 42 42 (weekdays 08:30 – 17:00).
