<\/div><\/a>Okay, now come other types of concerns; “I do not get along well with computers”, “back to struggle with electronic administration”, “sure it’s a difficult process for which I am not prepared \/ a”, etc.. None of that, this post has the sole purpose of helping you in the simple (yes, you heard right, the e-Administration also has simple things) process of requesting the appointment to renew the ID or passport.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As I said, you can renew your ID without leaving your home<\/strong><\/b>, in a few simple steps. By the way, remember that you don’t have to wait until it expires to ask for an appointment, you can ask for an appointment 90 days<\/b> before it expires(180 days in the case of passports<\/strong><\/b>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Below we explain the steps to follow to request an appointment for the renewal of your ID or passport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It all starts on the website of the Appointment for ID and passport<\/a> of the General Directorate of the Police.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Once you log into the system, you can obtain two types of pre-appointments:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Once you are on the portal, as shown in the image above, you have a link to start the application<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Remember that you will need to have your ID or eID near you in order to fill in the information on this page. Now you will have to fill in a few forms, but don’t worry, all the information is in your ID.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In the next step you can choose between renewing only the DNIe or the passport, or renewing both at the same time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Once you have chosen the option you need, a map will appear for you to choose the autonomous community where you want to renew it, followed by a list of the issuing offices available in the community you have chosen and, once you have chosen an issuing office, the opening hours and days available for renewal will appear.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When you have made your choice, remember to write down your appointment, although you can also receive a notification on your mobile phone so that you don’t forget it. And voila, you’re all set, easy, simple and no more than 10 minutes in front of the computer. This is not what you were expecting, is it?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The process for renewing a passport is exactly the same as for the ID, so just follow the instructions above up to step 3, choose renew passport<\/strong><\/b> and go through the identical process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you still need more help, there is a user help manual that will explain the whole process in more detail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Finally, remember that:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The passport<\/b> is valid<\/b>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On the other hand, the eID<\/b> must be renewed<\/b> every year:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It is important to bear in mind that the difference between the ID itself and the digital certificate it contains, which you can use to authenticate yourself on government web portals, request information, etc., is not the same.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Until 2015, the ID was valid for one year and its digital certificate (eID) for a shorter period – 2 years – which meant a usability problem. However, it was in 2016 when this rule was modified with the introduction of eID 3.0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Currently, we are taking another step towards the usability of digital certificates, thanks to the entry into force of the EU 910\/2014, which promotes certificates in the cloud, so that it is giving way to the development of cloud signature solutions such as Viafirma Fortress<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n I hope you have found it useful.
