ECAS account creation
Introduction
The European Commission Authentication Service (ECAS) is the system that validates
the identity of users accessing the online services and websites operated by the
European Commission. It requires all users to create and maintain an ECAS account.
Target audience
This document is targeted at users who have never created an ECAS account before
as it explains the steps involved in creating an ECAS account for the first time.
It is not intended or required for users who already have an ECAS account.
If you already have an ECAS account, please continue to use that existing account.
Do not create a second ECAS account.
Link to ECAS website for account creation
Click on the following link to be connected to the ECAS website for account creation:
https://webqate.ec.europa.eu/cas/eim/external/reqister.cqi
When you begin the account creation procedure, please ensure that you have access
to your email account as you will receive an automated email that you must respond
to within 90 minutes.
