It is increasingly common to do without physical documents or cards and use our smartphone instead, until now we could do it with our money, our credit cards, membership cards as a member of any establishment. We make an appointment for the doctor or for the ITV with our smartphone using the wireless connection, but what about our documentation? Now finally with an application we can do without our driving license or the documentation of our vehicle with the application to Android o iPhone called My DGT.
We can finally leave the house without our tedious wallet in our pockets and thus forget those moments in the middle of the night, when the authorities stop us and ask us for a thousand documents and we have to be looking for them in the glove compartment. Something that many will appreciate, even for those forgetful people who always leave their wallets at home.
This application is available for both AndroidAs for iOS, but it is in phase BETA so we will have to wait to enjoy all its functions, but we are going to show you how to install it and enjoy everything we already have it available from day one.
How do I carry my driving license on my smartphone
The main thing is to download the application from our application store, It is totally free and we just have to install it to start using it. Once this is done, it will ask us to select the preferred language, but it appears here the first stumbling block, log in to have everything in our mobile terminal, It is simple but perhaps it will back off the lazy ones because it requires some previous steps.
To register we can Use the @clave system and for that we will have to be registered in the systemIf our mobile phone number is registered in the social security system, it will be easy to follow the steps, since Only by entering our ID and validity date we will receive a 3-digit SMS that will allow us to register in the app. If we do not have our registered number we will only have to go to any nearby social security office and register it on a form. Here we have more official information about the system.
If we have an iPhone we can use the digital certificate from our terminal and for that the easiest thing would be to follow the steps in this LINK, following that small and quick tutorial, very useful for this or other management related to public administrations.
MY DGT What do we have in the application?
The most important thing is that we have access to our driving license, once registered we will have access to our full driving license in digital version, but with all the complete data, from name and surname, ID, photo and others, as if it were an exact replica, in the same way we can use a QR code housed at the bottom to identify ourselves at all times before the authorities or consult our remaining points quickly and easily from anywhere and at any time. If we have more than one card, we will have access to the back of our card as if it were a scale replica and we will be able to see both all the ones we have and the expiration date of each of them.
Below we have the "my vehicles" section where the vehicles of which we are the owners will appearIf we have more vehicles but they are not in our name, they will not appear here, so we will not be able to manage or see anything about them. Each vehicle will appear identified by registration as the model and the cylinder capacity.
If we access the vehicle, different sections will appear with information about it:
- Brand and model
- Fuel
- Displacement
- Frame
- Enrollment Date
- Environmental badge (if you have it)
- ITV and expiration date
- Mileage
- Insurance company and expiration date
- Holder, DNI and Fiscal Municipality
Vehicle registration certificate and technical sheet on your smartphone
Another of the magnificent options that this application offers us is the fact of being able to have access to the legal and updated documentation of our vehicle. As with the driving license we will have access to a QR code that once active we can show the competent authorities that through their devices they will have access to all the data of our vehicle directly and legally updated. It is a system that It has been used for a long time in China for operations such as paying or digital identification.
For the cases of more modern vehicles we will also have access to the technical file of our vehicle, data that usually goes on the back of the ITV card. Although we do not have access to the technical data sheet of our vehicle, in the previous section we will have access to see if we have valid MOT, as well as its expiration date. As it is a very early version of the application, we assume that later we will all have access to it.
Other new features
Among these functions that are to come, we have some like the notice and payment of fines where they will notify us of our fines so that we can pay them or identify the driver if it's not you, how to access all kinds of online procedures with the DGT in a simple and agile way.
As we have said before, it is an application that has just been put into circulation in its phase BETA, and everything indicates that it will soon have many more functions that allow us to get all the performance that can be expected. In the same way We remember that it is still mandatory to carry physical documentation if we want to avoid being punished, as the general direction of traffic itself warns. We will inform you as new functions come out for the application because This type of proposal is interesting since what it aims to do is make life easier for us. So that when the time comes, the only thing we have to carry is our smartphone.
For now we will have to wait and enjoy the content that we have available.
