Digital access

Check what your Spanish public service accepts.

Choose the task and what you already have. The exact public service decides whether it accepts Cl@ve, a certificate or DNIe, or local signing — you do not need every tool.

Recommended path

Start with the exact government service

For “read official notifications”, start by checking what the exact public service accepts. This prepares the next step; it does not guarantee that one credential works everywhere.

Open the exact procedure first; it decides whether Cl@ve, a certificate or DNIe, or another route is accepted.
Register for Cl@ve or obtain an FNMT certificate only when the public service requirements justify it.
Check the service access requirements before setting up a credential.
Use Mi Carpeta Ciudadana to consult data, appointments, notifications, and open files from participating administrations.
Save downloaded notices as PDFs before taking action elsewhere.

This tool does not log you in or decide which credential is valid. The procedure and its required security level decide what it accepts.

What this tool can tell you

This checklist starts with the task you need to complete and shows which access method to test first. Cl@ve, a digital certificate, DNIe, and AutoFirma are not interchangeable.

Check whether the task needs login, document download, filing, or a local electronic signature.
Use AutoFirma only when the official procedure explicitly asks your computer to sign.
Save the document, result, and final submission receipt together.

Public route check

Before you act on the result

The specific public service decides what it accepts. Test access before a deadline and install certificates or signing software only from official sources.

Confirm the final step on the official portal linked from this page.
If the document or route is unclear, get a case-specific review before a deadline passes.

Official portals

Use the official government sites below. Avoid downloading certificate or signing software from search ads, forums, or file mirrors.
