Saving Your Application Temporarily

You can temporarily save your application if you need to look up or gather more information. Your application will be saved for 5 business days if you have saved it in the meantime.

Problems with using DigiD have been resolved!

Until recently, the "Extend Session" button wasn't working properly on DigiD. This was due to a nationwide security measure. Fortunately, the issue has been resolved.

If you pause temporarily and no activity is detected for a while, the message “Extend session” will appear on the screen. This extension now works again for requests made via DigiD.
