The new DGT application is now available on Android and iOS in beta phase. This new app allows us to have our driving license on our mobile, see the vehicles that are in our name and other data, such as pending fines. Also know how many points of the driving license we have. So we can look at it in a simple way.
To check the points of your driving license in the DGT app, it will be necessary to download the official DGT app.It is available for free on iOS and Android. Of course, it is in beta phase, so the number of registrations is limited and it may not let you install it because the list is already complete. Once the app is downloaded, you must register with your PIN. This service is the one used in most of the procedures of the Tax Agency and other state platforms. If you are not registered, you can do it from here through your electronic certificate or through the invitation letter, which will arrive at your postal address in about 7 days.
Once registered, enter your ID number and enter the code that comes to your SMS. Accept the terms and wait for the app to log in (don't worry if it takes too long, it will eventually start up). The main screen will display your name, ID photo and current pointsLater on they will be able to notify you if you have committed an infraction and points have been withdrawn.Or, if they have added a point bonus for not having any violations.
How many card points can you have?
Remember that the number of points on the driving license depends on the number of years you have been certified as a driver. When when we get our driver's license, we will start with 8 points. After two years, these points will increase to 12. That is, 4 more will be added. Of course, as long as we have not had any infraction in which points have been taken from us. After another three years without any type of infraction that supposes the loss of points, they will give us another two more, adding a total of 14 points of the card. To get 15 points we will have to spend another three years without any loss.
Therefore, a novice driver would take about 8 years to have the maximum number of points on the driver's license. As long as you do not commit an infraction that will remove this bonus.
