How Cl@ve compares
Cl@ve is a login platform, NOT a digital certificate: the personal certificate is issued separately by the FNMT-RCM. Cl@ve is also distinct from idCAT Mobil, the Catalan identification option accepted by the Ajuntament de Barcelona, and from the NIE or TIE, which are identity numbers and cards issued by the Policia Nacional.
