If your institution's digital certificate for the use of the Via Oberta AEAT service is about to expire:
- STEP 1. You must apply for the renewal following the steps in the following FAQ: How to apply for an Electronic Seal of the AOC? You must request the stamp indicating "Exclusive transfer for use of the AOC services" in the "use of the certificate" section of the application.
- STEP 2. Once we have downloaded the certificate from AOC, you will have to download the form called " Electronic certificate replacement form (web services)" from the website of the Tax Agency . This form, together with the public key of the certificate (which must be in coded X509 format - extension .cer or .crt) you must send it to the AEAT through its electronic headquarters using one of the following forms in depending on whether the information is required for tax or non-tax purposes :
In both cases, the option you must choose in the form is Submission of authorization forms in standardized supplies
Since you need the serial number of the certificate and to download the public key, it is necessary for the person in charge of your certification service to access the certification portal, specifically in the subscriber folder . You will find the steps to follow in the FAQ “Subscriber folder: how to download the public key of a certificate? " .
- STEP 3. Once done, the AEAT will reply to you by email indicating whether the use of the new certificate has been authorized. You will then need to reply to the notification email we sent you to inform you of the steps to follow to renew the seal by AEAT, or open a support request attaching the following:
- The confirmation email from the AEAT authorizing the new certificate (in PDF format)
- The certificate replacement form that you sent to the AEAT.
Note: In the event that you initially use a CEIXSA type certificate and have another of this type for renewal, you must bear in mind that this type of certificate can no longer be requested and that neither accept for this purpose of use.
Considerations to keep in mind:
- We recommend that you notify the renewal of the certificate at least 15 days in advance (you can consult the " General conditions for the provision of services " of the AOC)
- The AOC uploads the new certificates weekly.
