As a lawyer, you can give a mandate to a staff member who is not a lawyer (for example an assistant). With that mandate, your staff member works on your behalf in a DPA application, with their own login.
What do you need?
To give a mandate as a lawyer:
- your own login to the DPA platform, through CSAM with eID or itsme®;
- the staff member’s eID card, with its PIN code and a card reader; or
- the staff member’s mobile number, if you want to use their itsme® authentication.
To log in as a mandate holder:
- your eID card, your PIN code and a card reader (the eaZyID program must then be installed on your computer); or
- your mobile phone for itsme® authentication;
- a computer with an internet connection.
For which applications can I give a mandate?
- DPA-Deposit
- DPA-Authentic Sources: National Register
- DPA-Authentic Sources: Central Register of Seizure Notices
- DPA-Jbox
- the BJB application
- the Central Register for the Protection of Persons (FPS Justice)
- the digital platform of the Flemish administrative courts (DBRC)
Want to give a staff member access to several applications? Then create one mandate per application.
Giving a mandate
Log in to the DPA platform at secure.dp-a.be/profile and click ‘My mandates’ in the menu on the left. You can also log in through the grey application tiles on the website of your bar association.
- You see an overview of your mandate holders. Working for several firms? You can mandate staff at each of them: check the firm you are logged in for. Select the firm you are giving the mandate for and click ‘Add new mandate’.
- Choose the type of mandate (the application) and click ‘Next’.
- Identify your staff member through CSAM. Click ‘Retrieve personal data’; you are redirected to CSAM.
- With the eID card reader: insert your staff member’s eID card, click ‘Log in with eID card reader’ and let your staff member enter the PIN code.
- With itsme®: click ‘Log in with itsme’ and enter your staff member’s mobile number. Your staff member confirms on their smartphone; their data is then loaded automatically.
- Explicitly confirm your consent for this mandate holder with ‘Confirm’.
- Your new mandate holder appears in the overview of your organisation. Use the download icon to download the DPA mandate; the icon only appears once the document has fully loaded.
Revoking a mandate
