How Certificado Digital (Spain) compares
Certificado Digital (Spain) refers to the personal electronic certificate, NOT the Cl@ve login, which is a separate PIN and Permanente system run by the SGAD, and NOT a paper certificate such as a padron certificate. It is also distinct from the TIE card: the digital certificate can be obtained with NIE evidence before the TIE exists.

Certificado Digital (Spain): Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Spanish certificado digital without a TIE?
Often yes. The FNMT-RCM accepts NIE evidence plus valid identity documentation for the certificado digital, subject to identity accreditation, so the certificado digital can come before the TIE. AEAT census status can also matter.
How much does the certificado digital cost?
As of October 2026 the certificado digital from the FNMT-RCM is free for adults and emancipated minors who hold a DNI or NIE.
What can I do with a certificado digital?
A certificado digital lets you use eligible online public services, for example some padron, DGT and AEAT procedures, which can reduce repeat office visits. Not every office accepts every step online.
