How to obtain an electronic certificate

Accreditation of entities without legal personality

The certifying authority establishes the documentation that the applicant must present to accredit their identity. This information is usually published on the website of the issuing entity of the certificate, so you must contact the body you have chosen to obtain your electronic certificate if you need to clarify any doubts about this issue.

The documentation to be provided will depend on whether the applicant is a legal entity or whether it is an entity without legal personality. For this type of certificate, the registration is exclusively in person.

In general, the procedure for obtaining an electronic certificate requires the identity of the applicant in a registration office authorised by the issuing entity of the certificate. Contact the issuing entity you have chosen if you want to know which registration offices you have enabled or view your website, where you will also find information on the documentation that a legal entity must provide and how to submit it.

In the case of electronic certificates issued by the Spanish Royal Mint, certificates are currently issued from the Company's Representative without a Legal Personality and the Tax Agency acts as a Registration Office for the accreditation of identity (although under no circumstances does the Tax Agency it is an electronic certificate issuing entity), together with the registry offices of the Autonomous Community of Navarra, the National Securities Market Commission and through the post office.

Therefore, the applicant of these certificates can prove their identity at the Tax Agency registration offices (by appointment) or at the post office.

To prove your identity at the post office, the process for obtaining the application code is the same. In addition, an online application form must be filled in with the contact details, available on the FN website MT Once the representative's identity has been filled in, together with the documentation necessary to certify the representative's identity, his/her powers of representation and represented entity , you must go to a post office with the documentation detailed on the FNMT website
