2018年10月底收到一封Email，說是原先拿到三年期數位公民身份的可以展延兩年，這樣就會跟2018年5月之後領證的人一樣都是拿五年的數位公民身份。

不過樂樂有點偷懶，明明從2018.11月就可以展延了，卻遲遲拖到快跨年才願意抽出時間完成展延的手續，總之呢，前後用不到一刻鐘的時間就完成展延手續囉，唯一要注意的就是，在展延的時候，會需要用到PUK 密碼，另外在快完成之前，會給一組新的密碼，最好備妥筆紙，或是用截圖的也行。

愛沙尼亞真的是一個超級數位化的國家啊，正好月底要去拜訪了，希望可以去挖掘一些商機，才不會浪費了這張數位公民身分證啊。

以下是Email原文，2018年5月之前申請的人，可以參考看看囉。

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.
