Can you imagine being able to carry your ID on your mobile? With the DNI Wallet application, this is now possible. In this article, we tell you everything what you need to know about this application that allows you to carry your ID on your mobile.
before anything, It should be noted that this application is not an official application of the Government of Spain nor is it developed by the Ministry on duty. It is an application of a private but Spanish company, Secuwarewhich makes it easier to carry identity documents and others on our iPhone and aspires to be able to use them in a way that we do not have to have physical documents.
The future involves hosting on our iPhone all the official documents that identify us as people before the different administrations and before other entities: DNI, Passport, Driver’s License, Digital Certificate, Family Book, Bank Cards, Service Cards, etc… In the end, carrying the digital wallet on the iPhone will be a reality. Not without all the reluctance that has existed and will continue to exist in terms of digital security.
If our physical wallet is stolen, we have a problem, but to use our documents to do evil, it is more complicated. Although security measures can always be circumvented. If our iPhone is stolen and with it they can impersonate us without going in person, we have a very serious problem, because until we raise the alarm, many things could have been done with our digital documents.
Apple was already implementing in the US the possibility of identification with ID or driver’s licenses in some US states, but here we are fighting with a giant that makes it impossible to “unify” identities and platforms called bureaucracy, and which is the same in USA than in Spain or any civilized country.
Achieve a standard that makes all individuals carry their documents in a single application and that it complies with the security standards that each administration on duty proposes, brings us closer to the digital “Tower of Babel” than to unification. At the moment, everything is aimed at each organization or administration having its specific app where it can house our identity.
Digital evolution of the Administration
We have already spoken on different occasions about individual and personal identification with our iPhone. We saw how to install the Digital Certificate on our iPhone and different apps that identify us to the State administrations.
Among them we saw MiDGT, the official Traffic application, which allows us to carry a driving license, provisionally invalid, but it is already progress.
The evolution of electronic documents for identification with the Administrations in Spain has been a slow (very slow) and constant process adaptation to new technologies and the needs of society. These are some relevant aspects of this evolution:
Digital identity
Digital identity is a concept that encompasses all the processes, mechanisms and technologies that serve an individual or organization to identify and authenticate themselves online. In Spain, digital identity has become a key tool for identification with Public Administrations, allowing procedures and procedures to be carried out more efficiently and securely.
Electronic signature
The electronic signature is another important tool in the evolution of electronic documents for identification with the Administrations in Spain. The electronic signature allows you to sign documents digitally and guarantees their authenticity and integrity. In Spain, the electronic signature is legally binding and is widely used in online identification and authentication.
digital platforms
Digital platforms have also had a significant impact on the evolution of electronic documents for identification with the Administrations in Spain. Digital platforms give workers the opportunity to work from anywhere and take the job that suits them best. This has led to a greater need for online identification and authentication, which has prompted the development of tools such as digital identity and electronic signatures.
Interoperability technical standards
Technical interoperability standards are a set of rules and specifications that ensure compatibility and interoperability between different systems and applications. In Spain, the Technical Interoperability Standard (NTI) establishes the general conditions to guarantee the interpretation and access to all the information contained in an electronic document.
information search
The search for information has also evolved with the advent of electronic documents for identification with the Administrations in Spain. Information search strategies have become more sophisticated and efficient, allowing users to find the information they need faster and more accurately.
As technology continues to advance, new tools and solutions for online identification and authentication are likely to emerge.
Introduction to the DNI Wallet application
Technology has transformed the way we carry and use our personal documents. In Spain, the DNI Wallet application has been one of the latest innovations in this field. DNI Wallet is an application that allows you to carry your DNI on your iPhone safely and comfortably.
In this article, we will explore how the DNI Wallet application works, the advantages of carrying the DNI on the iPhone and how to use the DNI on the iPhone to carry out procedures and purchases.
Evolution of electronic documents in Spain
In recent years, Spain has undergone an evolution in the way in which electronic documents are used, as we have mentioned before. From the electronic signature to digital identification, technology has allowed greater comfort and security in the management of personal documents.
The DNI Wallet application adds to this evolution allowing users to carry their ID and other identification documents on the iPhone.
How the DNI Wallet application works
To use the application, it is necessary to download it from the App Store and register with your personal data. Once registered, the user can scan their physical ID and other documents and store them in the application. The application uses facial recognition technology to verify the user’s identity and ensure data security.
It’s similar to how we put our debit and credit cards in Wallet to use Apple Pay.
Advantages of carrying the DNI on the iPhone
Carrying the DNI on the iPhone has several significant advantages compared to the physical DNI. Some of the key benefits include:
- Comfort: Carrying the ID on the iPhone means that it is not necessary to carry the physical ID at all times. This is especially useful in situations where you don’t want to carry a purse or bag.
- Security: The DNI Wallet application uses facial recognition technology to verify the identity of the user, which guarantees the security of personal data.
- Accessibility: Carrying your ID on your iPhone means you can quickly access it anytime, anywhere.
- Sustainability: Carrying the DNI on the iPhone means that you can reduce the use of paper and contribute to the sustainability of the environment.
How to use the DNI on the iPhone
The DNI Wallet application allows you to use the DNI on the iPhone to carry out procedures. Some of the procedures that can be carried out with the DNI on the iPhone include electronic signature, online identification and consultation of personal data. At the moment, it does not allow you to reliably identify yourself to any member of the State Security Forces, although as a first step to avoid having to go to the Police Station to identify yourself, it may be worth it.
And it is that until this and any other application are validated as personal identifiers, we recommend you carry your ID with you.
