If you have any specific doubts about the online management or procedure you are carrying out , you will have to contact the organization with which you were doing it. Consult the web address of the electronic headquarters of the bodies of Catalonia.

If you have an error identifying with the VÀLid consult Error reasons during identification with the VÀLid

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

These are the systems classified and integrated into the VALID system:

Identification method Information on the identification method Links of interest
idCAT Mobile

It is a solution from the AOC Consortium, aimed at user authentication and electronic signature, aimed at the citizen and based on the sending of single-use 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 Mobile is not displayed in the procedure you are carrying out , it means that for this procedure the specific administration does not accept this method.

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

The AOC Consortium provides the tools to identify you when processing electronically with the Catalan administrations: the idCAT Certificate, the idCAT Mobile, the e-TRAM and the VÀLid, which is an application that allows you to identify yourself with different electronic means (digital certificates, idCAT Mobile, cl@ve...).

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

However, the AOC is the provider of the electronic administration tools, but it does not manage and is not the recipient of the procedure you are doing . And it is for this reason that if you have doubts or incidents relating to a procedure, you must contact the administration responsible for it.
