We are just a few days away from the deadline for submitting our 2024 Income Tax return. This is something that, as many of you already know, we can do comfortably from home, all through the Internet.
In fact, at this time we have the possibility of carrying out a multitude of official procedures online. The Tax Agency makes things much easier for us in this sense, for example when consulting our draft or submitting the return electronically. However, for all this it is essential that first of all we can identify ourselves digitally. Basically with this we want to tell you that the Treasury must safely identify us how we will present the DNI in person.
One of the most used digital identification methods for years is known as a digital or electronic certificate. This is a security element that we install on our computer, in most cases in the web browser, so that we can identify ourselves digitally and safely. This way we can carry out all the procedures we need now for the 2024 Income. We are going to prepare and request or renew it for when we need it in a few days.
How to request a digital certificate for Income 2024
The most common digital certificate we are talking about is the one provided to us by the National Currency and Stamp Factory or FNMT. Hence, we are going to show you how to request this digital identification element. From there we can use it in any of the current browsers that we have installed on our Windows, macOS or Linux computer.
For the request that we are commenting on, we are going to use the tool that the FNMT itself provides us and that we download from this link.
Next we run the program like any other and we must follow the configuration wizard that it presents to us. This is very simple and valid for all users, even for those who do not have previous experience in this type of tasks and procedures. The only thing we need here is the Autosigna application.
Once the downloaded program has been installed on our computer, all we have to do is open our usual browser and open the FNMT Electronic Headquarters website through from this link. Now we are in the Citizen section and we now have the possibility of choosing the method by which to request the certificate as such.
We will have the possibility of doing it through an electronic DNI if we have it, an identification video or using a mobile phone. If we opt for this last option, all we have to do is download the corresponding application from the FNMT to our mobile.
Renew the FNMT certificate from home
But it may also happen that we already have this digital certificate to use in the 2024 Income, but it has expired. Therefore, in order to carry out the corresponding procedures and comply with the Tax Agency this year, we will have to renew it mandatory to be able to use it in the browser.
For this we are going to use again a website of the National Mint and Stamp Factory to through here. For this we also need to install the official FNMT software that we have mentioned previously. If we do not have the self-signature application we can download it at the same time from this another link.
For everything to work correctly we must keep in mind that currently we can use this digital certificate in practically all browsers. At the same time, it is important to carry out the entire obtaining or renewal process from the same computer and with the same user.
