Midni promises to be another success with Midgt and my citizen folder

The digital ID is Officer from today. The Government has approved by Royal Decree the use of the MIDNI app as an official accrediting document. The alternative to the physical document follows the wake of Midgt and confirms a promising tendency: that of a successful digitalization by Spanish public bodies.

First, Midgt. In 2020 the General Directorate of Traffic launched In open test phase The application Midgt. Carrying the physical driving license was no longer strictly necessary -go on having situations in which to carry it is advisable-, and the app demonstrated to fulfill its objective perfectly, in addition to allowing various types of operations related to the DGT. Even helps us avoid scams When looking for second -hand cars.

Then my citizen folder. In September 2022 A surprise would come even more striking. My citizen folder was the APP of the Government of Spain that allowed Bring us the bureaucracy to the mobile screen and make A lot of efforts especially comfortable. In fact, it was not only good when it was launched, but TOcaught.

And now, Midni. The last to arrive in this series of official applications It is midniwhich is developed by the National Police and will allow to prove the identity of citizens in various efforts. Initially its validity will be limited, but little by little that accreditation will extend to many more areas.

Midni does not replace DNI for the moment. As Explain The Interior Minister, this application will be available tomorrow prior registration with our electronic ID and digital certificate in force. It has the same legal validity and security guarantees as the physical ID, but this digital ID is a complement to the physical and does not replace it.

Good for public administration. It will still be necessary to evaluate this new app of the public administration, but the design and development of the application follows the same line as the MIDGT, using temporary QR codes to verify the intention of performing an operation and the validity of the document. It is therefore logical to think that its operation is correct, and Show that good trajectory In this type of public administration projects.

But there are many pending subjects. These are three fantastic examples that things can be done well. At least, for now there have been hardly any problems and many good reviews. However, public administration in Spain has a long disaster history and criticism When digitizing procedures: what should be simple is sometimes In a nightmare Or something simply impossible. The Digital Certificate Managementfor example, many problems usually pose despite being A development Already very mature and offering Important advantages If it works.

Unequal reception. The MIDGT ​​app already has more than five million downloads on Google Play Store and an average score of 1.8/5, while my citizen folder has been downloaded more than one million times from that store and its average score is 3.7/5. Theoretically the midni tool will be even more popular given the relevance of this document. As in the case of Midgt, the proposal is especially striking For those who have always wanted to do without the physical portfolio: Now they have one more excuse to do it, no doubt.
