Extending a posting period
If your employee needs to work outside the Netherlands for longer than the end date stated on the A1 certificate (certificate of coverage), you can extend the A1 certificate online via TWinternet using eHerkenning.
Registering an extension via TWinternet
You can register the new period online via TWinternet.
You will have to apply for this first. Without a TWinternet account, changes can only be reported to us via a new paper application form. In order to use your TWinternet account, you will also need eHerkenning (level EH3). You can then apply for, consult, download or change your A1 certificates in TWinternet.
If the original application (for the A1 certificate that you want to extend) was sent to us in writing, you should inform us of the change by sending us a new application in writing.
If you need to report another change, you should send us a new application.
Even if you have informed us of a change online, we may sometimes have to ask you to make a new application as well. For example, if the change means that the total posting period would be longer than the period allowed by law. In that case, we have to submit the application to the social security organisation in the other country.
