Security level of e-forms increased
To access some of our e-forms, you may need to log in with DigiD to verify your identity. For example, this applies to the e-form for applying for a disabled parking permit. Until today, you could log in using just a username and password. From now on, you must log in at least using the DigiD app or SMS verification. This ensures compliance with a rule from Logius that will become mandatory later. Logius is the government organization that manages DigiD.
For e-services, this change has not yet been implemented. An example of an e-service is reporting a change of address. For e-services, you can still log in using just a username and password. We expect this to change later this year. At that time, you will also need to log in at least using the DigiD app or SMS verification for e-services.
