No, the agency cannot ask you to provide it with the idCAT Certificat.

Please note that the idCAT Certificate is personal and non-transferable. Leaving it to a third party to use compromises the security of the certificate because, when the third party uses the certificate, it implies that they are acting as if they were you; that is, impersonating your identity .

In this sense, you will be responsible for the legal consequences derived from the use of the certified idCAT because you are its owner. Therefore, it is important that you be careful and prevent anyone else from using it.

So, what can you do if the agency asks you for the idCAT Certificate to act on your behalf?

In this case, it is advisable to grant representation to the agency, so that it can process on your behalf; you can also define what actions it can take and before which administrations it can act. In this way, you limit what the agency can legally do on your behalf.

Through the Representa service you can request the registration of the representation. You can do this in person or electronically through the portal of each organization.
