When we want to do some administrative procedure over the Internet, we have two ways to do it: through the digital certificate or through the Clave Pin. Normally, if we do it through the PC it is usually easier to install the certificate. But there are people who do not feel safe installing said certificate on their mobile, because anyone who picks up our smartphone could do any procedure on our behalf. If this is your case, you are probably wondering how to obtain Pin Code to use at the Tax Agency from your mobile, so that any process is more secure.
The Pin Code is a single-use code with which we can prove that it is us and carry out any administrative procedure we wish.
To obtain it, when you enter the Tax Agency or any other institution, you will be asked for some information that proves your identity. The normal thing is that they ask you for the ID number and the expiration date of the same. Once it verifies that these data are correct, you will receive a code of three numbers or letters on your smartphone that will be the equivalent of the digital certificate only during that use.
You can receive the Clave Pin by SMS, although we recommend that you download the Clave Pin app to obtain it more easily.
How to register in Clave Pin
To be able to use the Pin Code and receive it whenever you need it you need to be registered in the system.You can do this either through the app that we have mentioned above or through the website of the Tax Agency. If you have a digital certificate you can do it from home and at the same time. Otherwise, you will have to do it by video call, by letter sent to the tax address or by going to an office in person.
If you have digital certificate, you only have to enter the information requested. As soon as your certificate is detected, you can continue with the process and obtain your Clave Pin.
