In the current digital era, electronic communication has become an essential part of our daily lives. In Spain, the digital certificate has become an indispensable tool for electronic communication with public administrations and electronic billing. This article will guide you through the process of obtaining the digital certificate from the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (FNMT) from your smartphone.
The importance of the digital certificate in Spain
Since the issuance of Law 39/2015, of October 2, on the common administrative procedure of public administrations, companies in Spain are obliged to communicate electronically with public administrations. Furthermore, in the near future, the general obligation to use electronic invoicing will be imposed, affecting companies, professionals and self-employed workers alike. It is essential to clarify that when we talk about electronic invoicing, we are referring to the generation of digital documents, not the simple issuance of documents in PDF format.
In this scenario, the digital certificate becomes a fundamental piece. It is a digital identification system that allows people to authenticate themselves and carry out online transactions in a secure way.
The digital certificate of a natural person
In previous articles, we have explained in detail what the digital certificate is and how to obtain it through a computer. However, in this article, we present a quick and simple way to obtain it from your smartphone.
The new FNMT application
To simplify and speed up the process of obtaining the digital certificate, the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (FNMT) has launched a new application. This app is available on both the App Store and Play Store, making it accessible to users of iOS and Android devices.
One of the main advantages of this new tool is its intuitive interface. The app guides the user through each step of the digital certificate application process, making it suitable even for those without technical knowledge. In addition, the FNMT has included explanatory tutorials to ensure that users take full advantage of all the application’s functionalities.
Simplifying the process
Previously, obtaining a digital certificate involved carrying out multiple procedures and going in person to the corresponding offices. However, the new FNMT app allows the entire process to be completed through the smartphone, eliminating the need for travel and long waiting times. This represents a significant advance in terms of comfort and efficiency for citizens. It is important to mention that, for now, this application is available only for obtaining natural person certificates.
To ensure the security of personal data, the application meets with rigorous security and encryption standards. Additionally, a robust identity verification system has been implemented, ensuring that the digital certificates obtained are reliable and valid.
Without a doubt, in an increasingly digitalized world, having a digital certificate is essential to interact with public administrations and carry out procedures efficiently and safely. The new FNMT application simplifies this process, allowing you to obtain your digital certificate from the comfort of your smartphone. Whether you are a tech expert or a beginner, this intuitive tool will guide you step by step towards obtaining your digital certificate, paving the way to error-free electronic communication.
