Import from an electronic certificate to a card

An electronic certificate cannot be imported directly from the browser to a cryptographic card. To carry out this operation, you must have specific software provided by the certifying body and have exported the certificate to a portable device or USB storage unit or to a location on the hard drive.

Once the backup has been made and if the user certificate has been issued by the Spanish Royal Mint (FNMT), follow the instructions below:

  • Go to "Home" (bottom left corner) and select "Programs," FNMT -RCM, "Card," Certificates Importer. "

  • Click "Next" in the certificate import wizard's home window.

  • With the "Browse" button, search for the route where the certificate you have previously exported is found. Select the file and click "Open."

  • Again in the window where the "Browse" button is located, click "Next."

  • If you have set a security password for the export process, write it and click on "Complete."

  • A warning window will appear with the message "The import of a certificate with associated private keys has been detected". Do you want the process to be performed on the CERES card?". Accept the message by clicking "Yes."

  • In the "PIN verification" window, you must enter the card PIN and then "OK."

  • If the import has been successfully completed, the message "Import the certificate to the Ceres card has been made correctly" will be displayed.
