How to obtain an electronic certificate

Accreditation of entities without legal personality

The certifying authority establishes the documentation that the applicant must present to prove his or her identity. This information is usually published on the website of the entity issuing the certificate, so you should contact the organization you have chosen to obtain your electronic certificate if you need to clarify any questions on this matter.

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

In general, the procedure for obtaining an electronic certificate requires the accreditation of the applicant's identity at a registration office authorized by the entity issuing the certificate. Contact the issuing entity you have chosen to find out which registration offices it has available, or consult its 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 National Mint and Stamp Factory, certificates of Representative of Entity without Legal Personality are currently issued and the AEAT acts as the Registration Office for the accreditation of identity (although in no case is the AEAT an entity issuing electronic certificates), together with registration offices of the Foral Community of Navarra, the National Securities Market Commission and through Post Offices.

Therefore, the applicant for these certificates may prove their identity at the registration offices of the AEAT (by appointment) as of now, or at the Post Offices.

To verify your identity at a post office, the process for obtaining the Request Code is the same. In addition, an online application form must be filled out electronically with the contact details, available on the website of the FNMT Once filled out, together with the documentation necessary to prove the identity of the representative, his/her powers of representation and the entity represented, you must go to a Post Office with the documentation detailed on the website of the FNMT

Any error in completion or lack of documentation will result in the certificate not being issued; the FNMT will inform the user through its User Support service, and the entire accreditation process must be repeated, providing the documentation again.
