So you can register your mobile with Social Security to change the digital certificate by SMS

One of the traditional complaints of citizens regarding procedures is the lack of accessibility found in certain situations. The difficulties in being able to execute some other paperwork from home are a concern that also occupies one of the affected organizations, Social Security, which has worked on it.

For this reason, and as a complement to the other accesses to online procedures, the body currently allows , a method that can replace others such as the digital certificate () or .

But, to be able to carry out these procedures via SMS, the citizen must have their mobile phone registered in the Social Security database. This is because the body must have a telephone to send a code to when the owner of said telephone communicates to the system that he wishes to carry out a procedure by SMS.

It is a system similar to the one used by banks in some Internet operations, as explained by the Social Security itself, which “bases the security of the user’s identification on the user’s knowledge of a series of personal data and on the possession of the mobile device”.
