Did you know that you can install a digital certificate on your iPhone<\/strong>? More and more procedures can be carried out directly from a mobile phone without the need for a PC. The convenience<\/strong> of being able to use them from home on practically any device, added to their security<\/strong>, makes them very attractive to citizens<\/strong>. However, a large part of the population does not have one, nor do they know how to get one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this context we will see how to install a digital certificate on iPhone<\/strong>, how to obtain one and the use you can make of it thanks to Viafirma’s solutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How to obtain the certificate?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Firstly, the certificate is an electronic document<\/strong> that includes a set of data whose purpose is to identify a person through the Internet.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To apply for an individual or corporate one, you will have to go to a Trusted Qualified Service Provider<\/strong> (QSP) such as the FNMT or Firmaprofesional.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On the European Commission’s website we can access a list of all the PSCs. A list in which Viafirma appears as a qualified time-stamping service<\/a> provider.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Steps to install a digital certificate on iPhone<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To sign electronically, the first thing to do is to make sure that you have installed a digital certificate on your iPhone correctly. To do this, here are the steps to follow:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. We export<\/strong> the certificate to the computer<\/li>\r\n
  2. In the Files app we create a new folder<\/strong> where we will save the certificate later on<\/li>\r\n
  3. We transfer<\/strong> the digital certificate (.p12 file format) from the computer to our iPhone via our personal email.<\/li>\r\n
  4. We will open<\/strong> the email from our iPhone<\/strong>, click on it and save it in the folder we have just created.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Click on<\/strong> the certificate and it will automatically return a message saying that it is hosted in the Settings profiles<\/strong><\/li>\r\n
  6. In profiles, enter the password for the certificate<\/strong> and click Install<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    How to send documents to be able to sign with a digital certificate?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Finalising agreements is not an easy task. It is now vital to offer intuitive digital solutions<\/strong>, even more so in the current climate, as most users prefer to carry out complex procedures from home<\/strong> and will prioritise companies that support this type of process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    If you are looking for an electronic signature platform that supports iPhone<\/strong>, Viafirma will become your best ally. Viafirma Documents<\/a> allows you to configure the signature request of a document so that it can only be signed with an iPhone digital certificate. Moreover, it supports the use of customisable templates of contracts to automate the sending of requests; speeding up the digital signature of contracts with clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    On the other hand, it allows a series of electronic evidences to be added<\/strong> as attachments to the document in case of repudiation, such as a photo of the ID card of the intervening parties or an audio recording.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Easier alternatives for signing without installing a certificate on iPhone<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    As we have already mentioned, very few users have a certificate on their devices to carry out procedures and validate documents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    For this reason, Viafirma has developed special platforms to sign any document electronically from anywhere without requiring an electronic certificate.<\/strong> These are fully compliant with the advanced electronic signature<\/a> requirements of the eIDAS Regulation; the most demanding trust services standard associated with digital identity in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Finally, our tool is suitable for both face-to-face and telematic environments<\/strong>. In cases where signatories do not have a digital certificate, we recommend the use of the biometric signature<\/a> or the OTP SMS<\/a> respectively; offering the same or even greater legal validity than the signature on paper.<\/p>\r\n
