The Executive Board of Gedeputeerde Staten and the tax and collection officer of the Province have again determined through which digital channels they are officially reachable. This concerns messages such as digitally requesting products, submitting an objection or complaint and requesting information based on the Open Government Act.
From 1 January 2026, residents, companies and organizations can apply for and process all subsidies digitally. In addition, it will always be possible to submit an application on paper. The Province also offers support to anyone who needs help applying for a product or requesting information. On www.zeeland.nl/loket there is an overview of all products and services that can be applied for digitally.
The Province establishes these digital channels due to the Modernization of Electronic Administrative Traffic Act, which largely came into effect on 1 January 2026. In addition, the Executive Board explains in a separate policy rule Duty of Care how people can get support when contacting the Province.
The new rules also apply to tasks that the Province has transferred to the environmental services DCMR and RUD Zeeland. This applies to work they perform for Provincial companies for which Gedeputeerde Staten is the competent authority . The environmental services must therefore also establish digital channels. To make this possible, Gedeputeerde Staten have granted mandate to both services.
