Technology has simplified the relationship between government and citizens. We no longer have to travel to complete bureaucratic procedures, and everything is much easier and faster. If you want to save time and hassle, there are several government apps that will be very useful to have on your mobile phone.
Check your data in Social Security, review the files you have open in the Treasury, see notifications... all this and more is possible by simply identifying yourself in the official apps of the different Administrations.
My Citizen Folder
To begin discussing public administration applications, we must necessarily refer to My Citizen Folder, because it is one of the most important apps for the relationship between the administration and the citizen, as it centralizes a lot of information.
Through it you can access data about:
- Education and formation. You have available all the data about your educational record.
- Citizenship and residence. From here you can see information about your identity documents. If you have recently changed your address, you can notify different Administrations directly from here.
- Work and retirement. Allows you to access your Laboral life and obtain information about benefits and information related to your retirement.
- Health and social affairs. In this section it is possible to access the Digital Clinical History of the National Health System and consult reports and certificates.
- Personal and family situation. It gives access to proof of the absence of a criminal record and for crimes of a sexual nature and also to proof of having a large family.
- Vehicles and transportation. Shows information related to your driving license, points balance and information about the vehicles you own.
- Living place. The app also has information on urban and rural real estate and allows the download of cadastral certificates.
- Transparency. It allows the consultation of the data that the Administrations have exchanged about the citizen.
QEDU
This is one of the Public Administration applications intended for those people who are thinking about continuing their training at university.
It offers a wealth of information about university studies through a simple and intuitive interface, using official data extracted directly from the Register of Universities, Centers, and Degrees of the Integrated University Information System (SIIU).
Available information includes:
- Degrees offered.
- Cut-off mark for the last year and the previous year.
- Average admission grade.
- Average performance.
- Credits to obtain the title and price thereof.
- Possibility of studying the degree in a foreign language.
- Delivery modality: in-person or distance learning.
- Social Security affiliation rate for graduates.
Notify App
Notifica App is the application of the Single Enabled Electronic Address, made available to citizens by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.
Through it, it is very easy and quick to access notifications and communications sent to citizens by the Public Administrations adhering to this system.
This notification system allows us to be safe from online scams, because it offers us the assurance that electronic communications from the Administration will reach us through this channel, not through mobile messages or emails.
In addition, having the app installed is the best way to be aware from anywhere if we have received any notifications and have to respond within a certain time.
Applications of the Public Administration of Social Security
In this case we find several options:
Seg-Social Mobile Social Seg.
It is a very useful application, because from it we can access a lot of information and carry out procedures related to Social Security.
It allows us to check notices, make an appointment if we want to carry out any in-person procedures at their offices, obtain certificates, etc., all through a very intuitive interface that makes it very accessible.
VIVESS
This application is aimed at pensioners residing abroad. In order to continue collecting their pension, they must periodically present reliable proof of life, and with this app they can do so simply and quickly.
The applicant must identify themselves through the application and then access the proof of life verification process. If the proof of life is positive, the information is automatically sent to the INSS (National Social Security Institute) along with the signed document via video identification.
ISM in your pocket
This app is useful for those who are registered in the Special Social Security Regime for Sea Workers. Its objective is to facilitate these people with all the procedures they have to do with the Social Institute of the Navy, even if they are browsing.
Tax Agency
While dealing with Social Security is important, the procedures we citizens have to carry out with the Tax Agency are no less so. That's why we can manage our interactions with the Tax Agency more easily through its own app.
This app allows us to file the Income Tax return, check if we have debts with the Treasury, direct debit payments and receive notifications, among other things. All with a simple interface that makes the process easier even for those who do not have knowledge of tax matters.
Cl @ ve
It's an identification system used to access the online portals of government agencies like the Tax Office or Social Security. It's very useful for those who don't have an electronic certificate or an electronic ID card.
The user identifies themselves at the electronic headquarters of the Administration in question and then receives a verification code through the app. This records your identity, and you are then allowed to do the same online procedures that are available to those who have an electronic certificate or DNIe.
These are some of the most useful and popular public administration apps, but there are others. We also found some specific to the autonomous communities, such as the Navarre Health app or the Madrid Community's transport app. We encourage you to try them, as they can greatly facilitate your interactions with government agencies.
