If you have any specific questions about the online management or procedure you are carrying out , you should contact the organization with which you were doing it. Check the web address of the electronic headquarters of the organizations in Catalonia.

If you have an error identifying yourself with VÀLid, see Reasons for errors during identification with VÀLid.

The systems accepted by VÀLid are explained below. The authentication process can be carried out, in general, with idCAT Mòbil, Digital Certificates and Cl@ve. However, each public administration user of the VÀLid system can decide whether to show all the systems or only some depending on the procedure (For example, only showing "Digital Certificates" to consider them a more secure system for that specific procedure). If one of the systems does not appear and you have doubts about it, you should consult with the organization with which you are doing the online management.

These are the systems that the VALID system has classified and integrated:

idCAT Mobile

This is a solution from the AOC Consortium, aimed at user authentication and electronic signature, oriented towards citizens and based on sending one-time passwords to their mobile phone, as an alternative to the use of digital certificates. The system offers a medium level of security in accordance with what is established by the National Security Scheme.

If the idCAT Mòbil is not displayed in the procedure you are carrying out , it means that the specific administration does not accept this method for this procedure.

What is the role of the AOC Consortium in the processing?

The AOC Consortium offers digital identification tools that allow you to transact electronically with Catalan administrations, such as the idCAT Certificat, the idCAT Mòbil, the e-TRAM and the VÀLid. The VÀLid is a system that allows you to identify yourself with different electronic means (digital certificates, idCAT Mòbil, Cl@ve, etc.).

Therefore, while you are processing with a Catalan administration, to identify yourself, you will go through the VÀLid page of the AOC Consortium.

Authentication systems

However, the AOC Consortium only provides these identification tools, but does not manage or receive the procedures you are carrying out . That is why if you have doubts or incidents about a specific procedure, you must contact the responsible administration directly .
