Spain has officially launched its system of digital identity, which came into effect on April 2 and grants the electronic version of the national identity card the same legal validity as the physical document.
Under the new framework, both public institutions and private companies are required to adapt their systems so they can recognize and accept the digital ID, known as the DNI, as part of identity verification procedures and access to services.
The Interior Ministry has introduced the MiDNI mobile application, which functions as an official form of identification. Its use is intended to streamline secure verification processes and simplify access to both administrative and private-sector services.
Through the app, users will be able to identify themselves for a wide range of activities, including voting, banking transactions, age verification in person, hotel check-ins, car rentals, parcel delivery, and entry to entertainment venues.
Authorities underline that the application does not permanently store personal identity data on the device. Instead, it connects in real time to the National Identity Document Management system to confirm user details when required.
In addition, a digital signature function is expected to be introduced, expanding the system’s capacity to support online procedures and secure electronic transactions.
