Addressing Digital Case Portal Obstacles
β οΈ Technical Difficulties with the Portal
Cause: System errors, connection issues, or specific portal bugs.
Solution: If you experience technical problems or have questions about using the site, you should contact technical support directly. Look for the 'Kontakt og support' section on the website and select 'Skriv til teknisk support' to send an email to [email protected].
β οΈ Questions Regarding Case Processing
Cause: Uncertainty about a specific step in your case or needing to communicate with the court about your proceedings.
Solution: Log in to Minretssag.dk, open your specific case, click on TilfΓΈj dokumenter (Add documents), and write a message directly to the court. If you wish to call the court, you can find the court's contact details within your case.
β οΈ Uploading Multiple Documents Simultaneously
Cause: System limitations or a virus detected in one of the uploaded files.
Solution: We know file management can be tricky. If you encounter issues when uploading multiple documents, it's best to upload them one at a time. This ensures that each file is scanned for viruses individually and prevents the entire batch from failing if one document is problematic.
β οΈ Login Session Expired
Cause: Inactivity on the portal for an extended period.
Solution: For security purposes, your session on Minretssag.dk will expire after 60 minutes of inactivity. If this happens, you will need to re-authenticate (log in again) using your MitID to continue your work.
β οΈ Cannot Upload Word Files with External Resources
Cause: Security restrictions regarding embedded content.
Solution: Due to security considerations, the portal no longer permits the upload of Word files containing external resources. Ensure your documents are clean of such content before attempting to upload.
