eID integration

Belgian companies that need to identify every visitor reliably (industrial sites, government buildings, hospitals, secured logistics) can use the official Belgian eID card to sign in to Vizito. Instead of typing their name and address on the kiosk, the visitor places their identity card on a Bluetooth card reader, and the relevant fields are filled in automatically from the chip. The visitor still confirms the data on screen before completing check-in, so they keep full control over what is submitted.

Currently Vizito supports the usage of Belgian eID cards for signing in and out on iPads. Support is built into the iPadOS kiosk app and works with the Zetes Sipiro M BT reader over Bluetooth, so there is no extra cable on the desk.

Fields read from the card

The following supported default fields are supported for capture from the eID card:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Address
  • Zip code
  • City
  • Photo

Vizito only reads what is strictly needed to identify the visitor. The national register number, the card number and any other sensitive data on the chip are intentionally ignored, in line with our GDPR/AVG approach. The photo is shown briefly during check-in so the receptionist can verify identity, and it is then stored together with the visit log under the same retention policy as the rest of the visitor data.

Supported hardware

Supported hardware can be purchased directly.

We currently support the following devices manufactured by Zetes.

Sipiro M BT 4.0 bluetooth

The Sipiro M BT is a battery-powered Bluetooth 4.0 card reader. It pairs with the iPad in a few seconds, charges over USB-C and is small enough to sit unobtrusively on the reception desk. One reader can serve multiple iPads; you only need to pair it with the device that will read the card. If you operate several reception desks, order one reader per desk so visitors do not have to wait.

If you would like to integrate other national eID schemes (Dutch, French, German, Italian) into your visitor management workflow, please reach out so we can discuss your requirements.
