The idCAT Mòbil is an identification system that will allow you to do most of the management and procedures with the Catalan administrations just by indicating your identity document (DNI, NIE...) and your mobile phone. When you identify yourself, you will receive a password on your phone so you can access the procedure or management.

The steps to follow to use idCAT Mobile:

1. Access the procedure or online management you want to do from the website of the responsible body with which you want to do the processing. You can do the procedure from the computer, from the mobile phone, from a tablet... but you will need the mobile phone to receive the code.
At the time of identification, this screen will appear:

2. Select and indicate the identity document and the mobile phone with which you are registered with idCAT Mobile and press "Use my idCAT Mobile".

3. You will receive an SMS on your mobile in a few seconds (this code is for single use and expires after 10 minutes).

4. Enter the password of the received SMS in the "Enter the password" section and press "Verify".

Once done, you will access the procedure or management with the data you indicated when you signed up to idCAT Mobile.

Can you sign with idCAT Mobile?

Yes, applications and web pages can use the idCAT Mobile system as a signature mechanism if the provider of the procedure develops this functionality. The electronic signatures produced have legal value, and are suitable for actions with a medium level of security.

It should also be noted that the idCAT Mobile is an alternative mechanism to the use of digital certificates, which means that the same default functions cannot be performed, for example, a PDF cannot be signed.
