MyGov.be is a state-owned, government-run national digital wallet launched by the Belgian Federal Government.
It serves as an official digital identification and document wallet, acting as a public-sector alternative (or complement) to the private Itsme platform. ref

• MyGov.be is being positioned as Belgium’s implementation of the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation.

• Government sources (BOSA) indicate that MyGov will support the requirements of the EU digital identity framework and will be expanded with features such as a mobile eID, qualified electronic signature, and verifiable credentials.

• In short: Belgium is aligning MyGov.be with the upcoming EUDI Wallet standard.

• MyGov.be uses existing national identity data sources (eID, population registry, government databases).

• The app does not create a new central data repository; it retrieves authoritative data from existing government systems.

• Users can access official personal documents (e.g., birth certificates, driving license, certificates).

• Authentication is done through secure methods (PIN, QR code login, eID card, or via Itsme).

• Planned features include a fully digital mobile eID and qualified digital signatures.

• The article does not provide a public technical architecture document.

• What is known:

  • MyGov.be relies on Belgium’s Federal Authentication Service (FAS).

  • It reuses existing government identity sources rather than building new databases.

  • The detailed technical architecture (protocols, APIs, trust frameworks) is handled by BOSA but not fully published in the referenced article.
    If needed, these documents may exist internally or in government technical publications.
