SIR 2.0 - How to access the service?

The SIR Service for Catalan administration bodies is provided through the EACAT platform. Therefore, to access it, it is essential to be affiliated with it. If you do not know if your body is affiliated with EACAT, you can consult the list of affiliated bodies. If the body is not affiliated, you can consult how to adhere to EACAT depending on the type of body.

Secondly, it must be taken into account that the subjective scope of provision of the EACAT service and that of SIR are not the same (that is, despite being affiliated with EACAT, the entity may not be able to have the SIR service). Those entities that do not fall within the coverage of Law 39/2015, the current regulation on registration, cannot be users of the SIR service . If the entity that wants to use SIR does not conform to the subjective scope of provision of the service and needs to send documentation to administrations outside Catalonia, it will have to do so, either through the Single Electronic Registry or through another Registry office (the local council to which it depends, for example).

It is necessary to have a registration office created in the Common Directory of Units (DIR3) and integrated into SIR. All the town councils of Catalonia, regional councils and provincial councils have an office and have access to SIR. We are gradually registering the rest of the entities affiliated with EACAT in the service. You can consult the list of offices integrated into SIR to find out if your entity already has the service.

If we have not yet registered your entity and you are interested in having the service:

• If the entity is a Public Sector organization of the Generalitat , contact the Department of the Presidency and they will be responsible for managing the registration, both of the service and of the new office. The department will be responsible for informing you when the entity has the service available.
• For the rest of the Catalan administration entities, you only need to open a support request and from AOC we will take the necessary steps (Creation of the office* and request for registration with the competent Ministry). On the day the office is registered with SIR, we will send a formal communication to your entity through the EACAT registry.

* Important information about registering the Registry office in DIR3: From the AOC Consortium we will be responsible for registering the office as long as we are administrators of the organization's dir3 codes. If this is not the case, the registration of the office must be managed by the administrator of the DIR3 codes of the entity itself and once created, provide us with the office code (it is a code that begins with the letter O). You will find information on how to create it in SIR 2.0 - Organizations managing their DIR3 codes .

To access the service, it is necessary to have permissions from the Registry Interconnection System service.

You can check if you have permissions from EACAT > Settings > My space). If you don't have them, your entity's EACAT user manager can assign them.

Access to the service is done from EACAT, APPLICATIONS section. To access it you must:

• Identify yourself with username and password or digital certificate at eacat.cat .
• Enter the APPLICATIONS section of the top menu.

• Access the application “SIR – Registry Exchange System”
