2018年10月底收到一封Email，说是原先拿到三年期数位公民身份的可以展延两年，这样就会跟2018年5月之后领证的人一样都是拿五年的数位公民身份。

 

不过乐乐有点偷懒，明明从2018.11月就可以展延了，却迟迟拖到快跨年才愿意抽出时间完成展延的手续，总之呢，前后用不到一刻钟的时间就完成展延手续啰，唯一要注意的就是，在展延的时候，会需要用到PUK 密码，另外在快完成之前，会给一组新的密码，最好备妥笔纸，或是用截图的也行。

 

爱沙尼亚真的是一个超级数位化的国家啊，正好月底要去拜访了，希望可以去挖掘一些商机，才不会浪费了这张数位公民身分证啊。

 

以下是Email原文，2018年5月之前申请的人，可以参考看看啰。

 

 

Dear e-residents,

 

Beginning 1 November at 00:00 UTC, holders of valid e-Residency digital ID cards with active certificates and pin codes can extend the validity period of their card for an additional two years (from three to five).  

 

If you were originally granted (or renewed) e-Residency after 1 May 2018, your digital ID card already has a validity period of 5 years, but please confirm by accessing the latest version of the DigiDoc software.

 

If you are eligible for the extension, please follow the instructions below.

 

Instructions:

1. Download the latest software (DigiDoc4).
2. Plug your e-Residency digital ID card into your computer using your USB card reader.
3. If you are eligible to extend, you will see a yellow banner at the top of the DigiDoc4 software.
4. Follow the instructions in the DigiDoc software to extend the validity of your digital ID card.
5. It is possible to complete the extension process until the end of the current expiry date. Please note that once the extension process is started, it must be completed within 30 days, or your digital ID card will be invalidated.

 

If you don't wish to do the extension, your digital ID card will still be valid until the original expiration date.
