The digital certificate is a valuable tool for installing some of the best applications to access public administrations or even show your driving license from your mobile. From now on, the national police have announced the activation of the Digital Identity Plan which advocates improving the experience of access to digital public services by users and businesses.
In this way it offers another alternative to the digital certificate for online identification and perform different procedures. The use of the electronic certificate has expanded to hundreds of thousands of Spaniards since its access became easier just over a year ago.
The National Police announced the implementation of the Digital Identity Plan with four main axes and all with the aim of facilitating negotiations with the public administration or even with the private sector. Here are the four most important sections of this new plan:
- Identity card on mobile.
- Express identifier
- Paying fees with debit card.
- Mobile documentation units.
An ambitious project that begins with the renewal of 351 documentation updating positions installed in National Police stations; the same ones that can be used to retrieve the PIN and request the digital certificate from the National Mint and Stamp Factory app.

In addition to being able to retrieve the PIN code, these stations allow you to renew certificates and carry out data query operations and electronic verification of the DNI
Card Fee Payments
The second major axis of the Digital Identity Plan is the possibility of pay the costs of issuing identity and travel documents with point of sale terminals, or called POS terminals, and payment gateway integration with tax administration.
The aim is that payment can be made by card via the POS installed in the Documentation Units and thus expand the flexibility of this experience which required paying fees online when requesting an appointment.
They were installed more than 1,800 payment terminals in police stations in all regions, as well as mobile units will have them to provide this service in the most distant towns. Another of its strong points is that payment can be made with the card or even with the cell phone with EMV contactless technology.
The identifier on the mobile
Currently, the digital certificate allows the digital identification of the person through different applications, but the ‘miDNI’ project wants to go further so that the Spanish identity can be accredited in the different telematic means. In other words, it will serve as a substitute for the physical DNI.
The National Police would be responsible for offer citizens a good range of services associated with the DNIand this process will go through a series of phases until it is finally completed:
- First phase with a virtual representation of the physical DNI: This way you can identify and prove your identity through the electronic image of the physical DNI. The representation with a QR code would be electronically signed by the police.
- And centralized system will provide online service to obtain this electronic image of the DNI and its verification.
- Some applications will be launched to allow the download of the electronic image of the physical DNI signed by the Police.
- This electronic representation or image of the DNI could be used to certify the identity of the person in any public or private registration process.
- Some of these examples are: open a bank account, check into a hotel or rent a vehicle.
- The second phase will result in identification certificates and a centralized electronic signature for citizens. They will benefit from the same European recognition as the DNI.
Express issuance of the DNI
Finally, and within the Digital Identification Plan, come the multiple delivery modules or DNI express. One of its axes is simultaneous attention of two people which is characterized by maintaining the privacy of each citizen, by a single sender. Here are its characteristics:
- Ease of use for the sender and the citizen.
- Obtaining photography on site; In this way, any doubt about the owner’s image is removed.
- Capturing other biometric data at the time of its renewal.
- A screen allows you to personalize the password for access to the electronic certificates inside the DNI chip.
Initially, according to ADSL area127 express DNI units will be deployed, although there are already a few installed in Barcelona Trafalgar, Bilbao, Córdoba, Madrid-Santa Engracia, Granda-Centro, Granda-Norte, Madrid-Ciudad Lineal, Málaga, Toledo and Valencia-Hospital. The rest will be done before the end of March.
