How FNMT-RCM compares
FNMT-RCM is the issuer of the digital certificate, NOT the same as Cl@ve, which is a separate PIN and Permanente login platform run by the SGAD. The FNMT certificate is also distinct from the TIE card issued by the Policia Nacional: an FNMT certificate can be obtained with NIE evidence before the TIE exists.

As of October 2026 the FNMT-RCM personal certificate is free for adults and emancipated minors who hold a DNI or NIE, including foreigners with a NIE.
Can I get an FNMT certificate before my TIE card?
