Even though one might think otherwise, Europe is one of the countries in the world with the most digitalized public administration. It is true that there are still states that have a more advanced system, but in Europe, for example, our country is one of the most developed in this area. The My Citizen Folder app is a good example.
There high smartphone adoption rate in Europe This has helped to make it very easy to carry out certain actions, provided that the citizen has a computer in hand, which is after all smartphones. And little by little, more and more procedures are possible without having to go to a police station or a government delegation.
The last one that the Spanish Government has made available to us is the possibility of installing the electronic certificate on the mobile phone for free. It was already possible to install compatible third-party certificates, and they weren’t expensive, but they weren’t free either. Now, thanks to FNMT digital certificate app can be installed on Android phones and iOS devices.
How to install the certificate
The installation process is very simple and All you need is a mobile phone with NFC, the electronic identifier and its PIN code., which is the one issued when renewing the DNI, in a sealed envelope. If you do not have this PIN code It is possible to update certificates at a National Police station, without having to make an appointment.
As they say in the video, The process is very similar to withdrawing money from an ATM.. You just need to go to the machine (with a characteristic orange color), enter your login, choose the password recovery option and set a new one. This password will replace the PIN code. This is important, if you change the password at a police station, this is the one you will need to enter in the FNMT Digital Certificate application when it asks for the PIN code. Here are the steps:
Digital certificate on mobile
- Install the FNMT digital certificate application on Android or iPhone.
- Select the Request a digital certificate option.
- Click the Read DNIe option.
- Read and accept the terms and conditions to accept them.
- Enter the email.
- Enter the CAN of the DNI (this is the number located at the bottom right).
- Enter the PIN code on the envelope or the new password obtained at the police station.
- Read the DNIe chip, placing the DNI on the table with the chip facing up and the mobile phone on top, touching the top back of the mobile phone with the chip.
- Click the Read DNIe button.
When the process is complete The application itself will allow you to download the certificate, install it on your mobile and even share it so you can install it on another device. To do this, you will obviously need the PIN code or password that was used to generate it. By having this certificate, it will be possible to carry out multiple procedures, such as being able to vote by post, renew unemployment benefits or upload your professional life in a simple way. To check if we already have it installed, just follow these steps.
