Issues with using DigiD have been resolved!

Until recently, the 'extend session' button did not function properly with DigiD. This was due to a national security measure. Fortunately, this has been resolved.

If you take a temporary break and no activity is detected for a period of time, the message 'Extend session' will appear on your screen. This extension now functions properly again for applications submitted via DigiD.
