CL@VE (CLAVE) - Electronic Identity Confirmation

[Hose B]

Most of the official National and Local Government Agencies hold lots of information about us, and, with Spain being pretty joined up IT wise, you can access this information online.

All you need is a form of electronic identification so that the website is sure that the person, who is trying to access the information, is the person to whom the information belongs.

They powers that be have come up with a perfect system; it is called CLAVE written CL@VE. Clave is Spanish for Key, Code, or Password.

Once you are registered you can visit the website of your choice, login using CL@VE, a code and a password will be sent to your mobile phone which you then key into the website page.

You can then access your personal information held within the website.

Which Agencies Can You Access Using CL@VE?

Diputación de Alicante – SUMA, to access your IBI, or local taxes, on your car and house. To see all your payments to date, outstanding bills, and payment of bills etc.

AEAT (Agencía Estatal de Administración Tributária) or Spanish Tax Agency; sometimes called Hacienda. You can file a tax return, view previously filed returns etc.

DGT (Direction Generál de Tráfico) affectionately known as Traffico. Check for speeding fines or pay them, update personal details etc.

SEDE Electrónico del Catastro (Land registry), see a visual representation of your property including all registered extensions, look up cadastral values etc.

Cheers. I'm trying to get a background check certificate done but I can't. It would appear a fee needs to be paid. Can I somehow hook my Clave to my bank account or do I need to pay the taxes manually, which would somehow seem to make the whole situation pointless?
