I needed a criminal record extract for a security clearance. Given the epidemiological situation I wanted to use the Citizen Portal. You get the document straight away and can either print it or send it via data mailbox. I logged in (via mojeID), ticked which do...
Even though I try not to be unnecessarily negative, I knew there'd be problems. Last time it was the system for selling motorway vignettes. So before the fateful 8 AM on Friday morning I called my grandmother to gather all the necessary information (insur...
