Mobile ID running: What uses does it have?
The MiDNI app allows you to identify yourself with the phone in person, but it will not replace the physical document in all cases, such as international travel or certain arrangements.
From this Thursday, Spanish citizens can legally identify themselves with their mobile phone thanks to the MiDNI app, a new tool promoted by the National Police that offers the same guarantees as the physical format of the National Identity Document (ID) in different face-to-face situations.
The main uses are:
- Administrative or notarial proceedings
- Hotel registration
- Car rental
- Collection of packages
- Receiving medicines from pharmacies
To do this, the system creates a temporary QR code that facilitates secure verification of the user's data.
However, for the time being, thedigital ID does not fully represent the physical document.
In what case does he not represent it?
- To travel abroad
- To identify outside Spain.
- For certain electronic procedures
- For situations where a physical document or chip is required
It is therefore a complementary instrument, not a complete replacement.
In order to use it, it is necessary to have an existing ID and to form a prior registration, via the Internet or at points enabled as a police station or town hall, after which the user must download the application, enter their data, create the password and confirm the process by means of an SMS code.
The system offers different levels of information, depending on the need: basic age verification, full visualization of all ID data... In addition, the app does not store personal information on the device, it consults data in real time, which strengthens security.
Public and private institutions shall have a period of twelve months to adapt to this new digital format, after which they shall be obliged to accept it.
