Nowadays, especially as a result of the pandemic caused by covid-19, having this certificate is almost essential. The 24th edition of the Navigators on the Net study – the survey of Internet Users by the Association for Communication Media Research – reveals that the use of electronic signatures has skyrocketed in the last year: seven out of ten respondents use this appeal compared to 25.3% in 2021.
But there is a problem: the process to download and install this software file is slow and, for many people, too complicated. The first step to start the process requires registration on the website of the National Currency and Stamp Factory, where the user obtains a code that must be validated in person at a public administration registration point. This forces you to move, with the consequent loss of time involved in getting to that place. In addition, it is not always so easy to complete this process. Many inhabitants of rural populations, generally older people, must travel kilometers to reach some of these venues. The same happens with people who are hospitalized, sick or who reside in other countries, far from their homes.
To resolve this situation, the firm specializing in digital identity Bewor Tech SL has launched the website certificadoelectronico.es. Through it, any user can access and download their digital certificate without leaving home, 100% online and in just half an hour.
Fast and legally valid
In fact, the issued document has exactly the same validity as the certificate issued by the FNMT to access any public administration or sign a PDF document digitally. The main difference is that, now, it is no longer necessary to make an appointment or travel to complete the process. The steps are very simple. After registering in certificadoelectronico.es through the web or the app, the user must show his face to the webcam and then show the camera his ID or passport on both sides. An authorized person is responsible for reviewing all this information.
At all times, the safety of the user is guaranteed when carrying out administrative procedures. Bewor Tech SL is a company accredited by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation as a provider of qualified electronic trust services. Since the publication of Order ETD 465/2021 of May 6, which regulates the video remote identification methods for the issuance of these digital certificates, this company is one of the few entities in Spain that have obtained authorization to carry out out this process.
