What is the digital certificate?


Bluntly.The digital certificate is an electronic document that serves to identify us on the network.It does so unequivocally and has legal validity, so it is a sensitive document.It is designed as a digital signature, to help citizens and companies to exchange data with the administration.


Usually, the physical person certificate or citizen certificate is known as a digital certificate.This is granted to every person in possession of a DNI or an NIE.But there are many more.certificates of physical person, there are certificates for representatives (for business administrators, for example), for legal entities and entities without legal personality, for the administration itself and even for servers or computer applications.


What is it for?


The digital certificate of a natural person allows more and more paperwork to be done through the internet. It is completely safe and valid .Signing an electronic document with the certificate is equivalent to doing it in person at an office of the administration.This process is used in a multitude of procedures and in an increasing number of administrations, both the central and the autonomous ones and the local ones.Even in other entities such as professional colleges, chambers of commerce, post offices and universities.


The tax agency is one of the administrations that allows more formalities with the certificate.We can present all kinds of declarations.Something similar happens with Social Security, on whose website we can, for example, update our data or request copies of any document In addition, most administrations already contemplate basic procedures with the digital certificate as the one of previous appointment.Here you can consult a list of all the entities and procedures that support this certificate.

Where to ask for the digital certificate


To have this electronic document that demonstrates our identity online , the first thing is to request it in one of the institutions that grants it.This request can be made, of course, through the internet.It is more common to do it on the website of the National Currency and Stamp Factory, or FNMT.In it we can also find very detailed information about the certificate and its utilities.In addition to the FNMT, other entities such as certain professional associations, the European Agency of Digital Trust or some autonomous organizations can grant it.


How to request the digital certificate


As we have seen, it is done through the internet.To request the digital certificate there are three procedures: with the DNI or NIE, with its electronic version or with the app of the FNMT for Android ( currently out of service and no return date).For the first two options the first thing is to make sure that the browser is compatible with the certificate.From the FNMT only ensure proper operation in Firefox or Internet Explorer.


In both cases, it is best to have the latest version installed, but the FNMT itself explains a series of procedures to make sure everything is in order.They even have a program to configure the browser (download here), in case Maybe once we make sure everything is correct, it's time to request the certificate.


Don't come back tomorrow, use the digital certificate


Fill in the web form .A simple step in which you ask for little information.At the end, you will give us an application number associated with our ID.If we have used the electronic ID, the process ends here.They will send a digital certificate download code to our email .
Identity accreditation .If we have used the conventional ID, we will have to go to one of the authorized offices to prove that we are who we are.Last visit to the physical administration.We will have to go with the ID to one of the the more than 2,400 accredited offices, including all of the Social Security and the Tax Agency.
Download the certificate .Once our identity is accredited, they will send us a download code to the email.The same one that would have arrived if we had done the procedure with the electronic DNI.We will have to download and install it.
Options for smartphones .The FNMT has an application for Android only.Until recently, it was possible to request the digital certificate in it, following the same steps as with the conventional DNI However, this procedure is temporarily disabled.

Install the certificate


The FNMT warns that it is necessary to request, download and install the certificate on the same computer and the same browser version.The reality is less strict.However, the first time it is better to follow the steps to the letter.Yes, once the digital certificate has been downloaded, we go with its installation.The procedure is simple.Double click on the file and follow the steps indicated. If we install it in Internet Explorer, then we can also use it in Chrome (since they share certificate store).To have it also in Firefox you will have to repeat the installation process.


And don't forget the backup


The download code sent to the email has an expiration date, that is, we will not be able to use it every time we want to download the certificate again, so it is highly recommended to make a backup copy of the digital document.Control Panel> Internet options and we click on the Content tab and the Certificates button.


There we will see the digital certificates that we have installed.We choose one and press the Export button.In the process we can activate or deactivate several options.If we are not sure, we leave the ones that come by default. Before exporting it from definitively, we will also have to choose a password .This key will be requested when we reinstall the file we have exported.Without it, we will not be able to do it.


The FNMT also offers the possibility of buying a cryptographic card in which to have the backup copy.To read it and import the certificate, a card reader similar to that of the electronic ID will be necessary, be that as it may, the process, since We ask until we have it installed, it is less complicated than it seems.And, once it works, it makes things much easier and saves hours and hours of queues.
