Digital Certificate
Access Spanish services more easily online.
A Spanish Digital Certificate allows you to identify yourself securely online when dealing with many government departments and public services. Into Spain can help you through the process of obtaining and setting up your certificate.
Understanding the certificate
What is a Spanish Digital Certificate?
A Spanish Digital Certificate is an electronic form of identification that allows you to prove who you are when accessing many official online services.
It can make everyday administration considerably easier, particularly once you are living in Spain and need to deal regularly with government departments and public bodies.
Instead of needing to attend an office for every procedure, certain tasks can be carried out online from your computer or compatible device.
Into Spain can help you understand the process, prepare for the identity verification stage and assist with getting the certificate installed and ready to use.
