How to authenticate yourself with the eIDAS identification system
The EU Citizen Authentication System ( eIDAS ) allows citizens of one European Union country to use their national electronic ID to access public services in other member countries.
The Tax Agency already offers eIDAS authentication in some of the main procedures related to the following issues (only for the most recent years in some cases).
- Declarations and other Income Tax procedures ( IRPF and IRNR ) and Corporate Tax
- VAT Management
- Debt management
- Customs procedures
- Powers of Attorney
- Queries through the Informa+ tool
- Information notices
- Certain economic-administrative claims and special review procedures.
The procedures available with this authentication will be progressively expanded.
Currently, to access the services of the State Tax Administration Agency through the eIDAS system, the EU citizen is required to have an identifier such as a DNI (National Identity Document), a NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) or a NIF L or NIF M (Tax Identification Number). This means that, although you can use your electronic ID from another EU country, you first need to have one of these Spanish identifiers to carry out procedures at the AEAT electronic headquarters.
Access a procedure in which identification is available through eIDAS and click on "Access for EU citizens ( eIDAS )".
By clicking on the access, you will be redirected to the eIDAS Spanish node where you will have to select the country where your identity was issued.
You will be taken to the authentication page for the country you have selected and you will need to authenticate yourself using the valid mechanisms provided by your country. Depending on the country selected, the data requested or the way of identifying yourself changes (in addition to the language). This process is determined by the country in question.
If your country login is correct, you will be redirected back to the Spanish eIDAS node. At this point, it is checked whether you have a European citizen identifier in the AEAT ( DNI / NIE / NIF L or M).
-
If the identification in your country has been correct and you already have a DNI / NIE / NIF M or L , you will get a page where a field appears to enter it and "Accept".
If correct, a contact email is requested to manage incidents in future accesses and the assignment of citizen identifier EU is carried out.
-
If the identification in your country has been correct, but you do not have DNI / NIE / NIF M or L, you will receive a message informing you of this and indicating how you can obtain the Spanish identifier.
If the identification using eIDAS is correct, you can continue with the tax procedure you wish to carry out.
